'06+ Recalls (?)

[Popsickle]

I was on http://www.recalls.gov (which does not have the 2006 M45) researching my friends 2006 Maxima (fully loaded) and noticed something strange. We've all heard of the loud noise coming from the rear end while driving and the Maxima has a recall for the rear suspension along with the front seats...______________________________________________________

*When I had my front seat fixed due to the movement when braking, the wires were left hanging which made me wonder why they're not placed right. And the rear suspension part just had me thinking since Infiniti has yet to find a solution. So what do you all think? (lets not forget the Maxima is out little brother!) Also if you check out the 2006 Infiniti FX45 you will notice a "FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE" recall.*

______________________________________________________Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE (2006 FX45)

Summary: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE FUEL FILLER HOSE MAY CRACK AND RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE HOSE WHILE REFUELING.

Potential Number Of Units Affected : 192659 (which is only the FX45 and I have no idea if the fuel system is similar).______________________________________________________

Keep in mind that http://www.recalls.gov does not have the 2006 M45 listed, yet that doesn't mean there is no problem. I remember when my Lexus wasn't listed, yet I was up to three recalls.

Thanks for reading and hope it helps with something,D.

What M45 recall are you looking for? As far as I know there are no recalls per se, just the Voluntary Service Campaign to reprogram the ICC and it is listed as a TSB not a recall
