A TSB is a technical service bulletin published by auto manufacturers to alert dealerships and service technicians of problems and potential problems discovered with cars after they've been rolled out into the production. Often they'll recommend repair procedures as well. Severe ones can lead to recalls.

Infiniti assumes you will be returning to the dealer every 90 days for oil changes therefore many things [TSB] are done/checked at that same time.Infiniti issued 63 TSB [for various problems in various models by 1993].Unfortunately many are only followed if the customer complains and many are so complicated [or esoteric] that they almost never get done [brakes, suspension, driveline vibrations]By the way 88.7% of Lexus owners [new and used] use the dealer exclusively, highest in the automotive Industry.

It would be interesting to know what these 63 TSB covered. Is there a web site one can access for the Infiniti TSB.
Thanks
