Well, I agress with Teresa. I did get the recall about stablizer link (suspension) but didn't apply. Now today got service engine soon light - service said fuel system issue after having vehicle for 5 will be 6 hours - told me about service bulletin about valve open and instead of replacing parts now just reprogramming the vehicle - that is sad - should fix properly

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN XTERRA AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE FOR NISSAN MOTOR CORP COCONTACT ME ABOUT THE RECALL PROBLEMS. YOU WOULD THINK IF THERE WAS A RECALL THEY WOULD LET OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLES KNOW. I HAVE TAKEN MY XTERRA TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP PLENTY OF TIMES AND NOT ONE TIME HAVE THEY MENTION ANY PROBLEMS.
