I'm considering taking my car into the dealership to have them perform the fix for the "fuel filler hose replacement voluntary recall campaign." I took a look at the procedure on Alldata.com and it's quite a lengthy process which involves taking apart the whole rear end, including dropping the rear suspension. I'm a little nervous about this (i.e. will they put everything back the way it's supposed to be). Has anyone experienced any bad consequences after this procedure?

 

i had the recall done. it didn't take to long everything seemed normal the only complaint is that it seems like the mpg seemed to go down

 

Had mine done back when it first came out and have not had any problems. The dealer did scratch one of my old wheels.

 

had that done with a new stereo unit put in and no problems here

 

I had it done and the car has never gotten a full tank after(seconf fuel related recall). I can only get a mark over 3/4. The dealer said it must be the pumps...try a new station or different gas. I asked why don't they look to see what the issue is...slience. I had it in about 4 months ago for a recall on filler neck and I brought up the gas issue again....This time it was oh lets us look at that we have seen a few with this issue but it won't be covered under warr you have too many miles. GEE THANKS!! I you have any issues go back ASAP.

 

Yes, make sure they do the Rear Axel TSB. Mine was clicking really bad after the fuel TSB.

 

Knock on wood I have not had any problems. I think if there were significant issues, you would hear more people Biching

 

my lugnuts were torqued on too tight, i had to wrestle the rear rims off

 

Had my fuel hose recall done about three weeks ago, nothing out of the ordinary since then.....

 

Thanks all of the responses. I've got some warranty issues that might need attention before the fuel hose issue, so I may postpone that until later.

Cashio - Thanks for the info regarding the axle TSB.

 

What dealership did you go to so i can avoid that one?

 

Good question; Thought about this for a while ...I'm not doing it.
4 hour operation for possible problem prevention. Possible -- statistically small chance of having an issue, so if you have tolerance for a bit of risk, I wouldnt even think about it. ( Odds are greater that an issue arises from the "repair" that is more serious than the one you came in for ...)
Infiniti just has to legally cover their butt in case there is an issue, that's why they send you a notice. Many manufacturers wouldnt even bother and handle this case by case --- Infiniti is pretty good about that; they did the same with brakes (extended the warranty).

 

Yeah, I've been thinking about this. I'm glad someone else is thinking like I am. I can't stand the thought of them messing with the rear suspension, dropping the exhaust system, dropping the fuel tank, and then trying to put them all back where they came from. If they don't do things exactly right, there could be problems. Sure they will have to fix whatever arises, but it seems like opening a can of worms.

I wonder how many of the fuel filler hoses have actually cracked.

 

I am should be looking on my posts more. I went to Frontier Infiniti.

 

That's where the previous owner bought the car and i planned to go there. I guess i'll be going somewhere else. Thanks for the heads up!
