TSB work - need to still have warrantee?

[thaduke007]

I just purchased a 2002 Q45 with 47,000 miles on the ODO ($19.8000!). I'm going to pull the service record from Infiniti. If I find that there are some outstanding Technical Service Bulletins, am I entitled to have them serviced even though the warrantee is no longer in effect?

Not unless they are safety related.

Be sure you have the throttle ecu/tcu reprogramming one done.

[thaduke007]

Is that one safety related?

no it mainly has to do with acceleration concerns....

They wont cover it outside of warranty, and from what I hear its about $400 to have it done.

TSBs are nothing but how-to guides for the dealer.

More like one large.

TSBs are nothing but how-to guides for the dealer.

They are updates and additions to the manuals and contain information not in the FSM nor the OM.

If you just bought it off a dealership than you could hit them up for the re-programming. If your going to have to do it you could get an extended warranty, since you have low miles you could probably find one and than slip it in a few weeks later.

[Jesda]

For an extended warranty to cover it, the component has to fail on its own for non-neglect reasons.

AS IS usually means AS IS. BUYER BEWARE.

Knowing something is wrong then buying INSURANCE to try and cover it is Insurance Fraud...........preexisting conditions.

Service insurance policies only cover component failures not tweeks or adjustments.
