| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Nissan north america inc. has sent me two letters indicating a safety recall notice for trailer hitches sold on 2005 nissan xterra vehicles. i have called and driven to the local nissan dealership but they can not find a recall for my vin number and refuse to look at my trailer hitch. i handed the service advisor my recall notice that had my vin printed on it, and they have still refused to look at my vehicle. i have called nissan's customer service number: 1-800-647-7261 (1-800-nissan1) the representatives insisted that my vin number does not have a recall and were not able to help me. i have done some research on my own time, and found the nhtsa campaign numbers for this recall 05v458000 and 05e062000. i have called the nissan customer service number and asked them to add the nhtsa campaign numbers to my file. all the nissan representatives that i have spoken with insist there is no recall for my vin because they cannot find it in their computer system. i don't believe this recall campaign is tracked by the vin number because the recall is for an optional accessory. i purchased a 2005 xterra with a trailer hitch installed. i am worried the hitch is defective and part of the recall that i have received notices. nissan has refused to check my vehicle to verify if the trailer hitch needs to be replaced. *jb |
