kanny 20,703 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've heard many times that these were prone to snapping in half but I didn't realise that the problem was so bad https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4195002/amp/Nissan-urged-recall-popular-4X4-Navaras.html?client=ms-android-sonymobile Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I said the same thing ages ago after my mate who owns the local garage told me he has had to weld up three in as many months ....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,881 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 fecking hell my mate viz off here bought one before xmas just tell him to get a pressure washer in the gap from time to time and maybe a bit of wax oil, the japs have always been fantastic engineers, but under sealing and rust prevention have never been a strong point even on there cars, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair play to the bloke, hes made thousands of owners aware of the problem and forced the hand of Nissan to stump up. https://www.(!64.56:886/groups/505526562959686/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil r 1,861 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Is it just navaras, walshie0988 off here had the chassis on his pathfinder snap not long back . Think he had to go through the ombudsman to get some money back but still lost out it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Pathfinders and D40's are affected Nissan are claiming it's only 55-57 plates which are affected but all ages are failing the inspections and some snapping. Up to 12 plates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,080 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Is it just navaras, walshie0988 off here had the chassis on his pathfinder snap not long back . Think he had to go through the ombudsman to get some money back but still lost out it under the cab they are identical, as someone who has worked for years in a nissan workshop this pisses me off, bit like the d22 engines blowing up they would rather hide their heads than admit there is a problem and just fix the f***ing things, the amount it would have cost to fix d22`s would have far outweighed the cost of lost reputation and the chassis problem is going to go the same way, scrapped one years ago when it was just over 6 years old, on the quiet they have been buying them back for a while, cheaper than recalling them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stumfelter 3,034 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 One of these would be perfect for anybody that wants a Japanese penis extension but only has a small garage. Simply bolt hinges where the chassis is split and hey presto folding phallus... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ratattack 111 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 It's the Spanish built ones that have the real problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
