Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This complaint is regard to the voluntary recall on the '97 nissan sentra's wiper seal. when i contacted the dealer and then the 1-800 nissan customer service line i was told that the recall didn't apply to my vehicle despite the fact that it falls within the range of numbers given on nissan's own website (clipped from web page - [xxx]to [xxx] (sentra) with a vin#[xxx]. i purchased this as a used vehicle and so it is not unreasonable to expect that the wipers could have failed through normal wear and tear. however, i would like a better explanation as to why the recall doesn't apply when by all indications on nissan's own web site it appears to apply. *jb updated 07/26/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
