Do they replace all the 2006-2007 headlights with out testing alignment or just the ones that are out of line?

I bought my 2007 Coupe in 12/4/2006 and received the Safety Recall Notice in the mail a few months later. I figured to wait till something happend to the headlight. Well now my passenger headlight is damaged and I decided why not have it replaced.

I call the dealership and they said there is no headlight recall on my car and that they had no record of replacing them. I called the 800 # and they said that the recall was completed January 2007. Would the dealership "fix" the headlight without me requesting it or without telling me after.

I'm trying to find my old Work Order estimates to see if I had my first oil change on January 2007, the oldest one I could find was 3/23/2007 at 3,880 miles. When is the first schedule oil change?

 

The headlights are replaced.

 

your still under warranty so i dont see why the SHOULDNT change it

 

Thanks Mike.

I read alot of headlight recall threads and alot of guys said that they would wait until their headlight was scratched like I did to have the headlights replaced. Do you think that the dealership would replace it asap as if this was a mandatory recall?

I checked my credit card bills for that month; I did not have anything done to the car until March 23, 2007.

 

I havnt heard anything about this so far. My headlights seem to work fine? Is this all 2007 G's? my build date is 2/07...

 

According to the Safety Recall Notice, "Infiniti has decided that the headlamps on some 2006 through 2007 model year Infiniti G35 Coupe...."

I'm not sure if all 2007 have projector xeon headlights but mine does according to the sticker on the car.

 

there are a couple of large threads about this topic already here, but some specific info for you:

you can read all about this TSB (and any other recalls/TSBs) over at the NHTSA's site here. do a "recall" search for your vehicle make/model/year.

to summarize this recall:
VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2006–2007 INFINITI G35 COUPE HEADLAMPS
Infiniti has determined that on some model year 2006 through 2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe vehicles, the headlamps fail to comply with certain requirements set forth in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108.
The standard specifies, among other things, the performance requirements for headlamps in passenger vehicles. One of these requirements specifies the vertical gradient values for headlamps. Another specifies minimum and maximum light intensity of headlamps at certain test points. The headlamps in the vehicles
subject to this TSB may not meet these requirements. This means that the headlamp aim may be difficult to adjust. Also, the headlamps may be too dim when viewed at certain angles. Reduced visibility increases the risk of your vehicle being involved in a crash. Improper aiming of headlamps can increase glare. To correct this condition, Infiniti is conducting a Voluntary Recall Campaign to replace the existing headlamps
with new and compliant lamps free of charge.

applies to only some VINs - refer to this PDF of the TSB (from the site above) as it lists the effected VINs and TSB information. make sure your VIN is in that range.

 

Thanks fishhouse my VIN does fall within that range. Do you think that my dealership would replace my headlights when I brought my car in for an oil change or when I had my OC engine replaced and never told me afterwards?

 

would be the first time any dealership i've ever dealt with did something without me begging...but sure, it's possible.

if they did then they'll be able to show you records. just ask. if they can't, ask them to do it "again" or somehow prove it was done somehow - maybe the new lights have a different part number on them or something.

 

does anyone know the part number for the post-recall headlights, as opposed to the recalled ones??

 

I have to check my vin number to see if my G is within the recall range. I ought my '06 back in August of 2008. My queston is how to tell if the lights were already done.

 

What about an 05 with 06 headlights???

 

Really so 06-07 headlights give out less light than 03-05??? Why then are people with 03-05 switching to 06-07? I would assume the HID and more light output.

 

i got mine done for my 06 coupe, they were pretty darn new

 

it is cause the 03-05 guys want the projector headlights.
