Yeah i got mine replaced only coz i said i heard about it and they checked and i use my d40 for fun and work like heavy work always loaded and all 4 had slight cracks what they said anyway lol
Took mine in for the second recall inspection and advised they will be replaced and will notify me when available. Asked them are they doing a wheel balance and alignment when they replace wheels and was told it's not necessary. Any way after a bit more discussion they informed me they do not have the equipment and I will need to take it elsewhere at my expense.
Am I being a tight arse or have others had balancing and alignments done by the dealership when the wheels have been replaced or is the dealership correct in saying it is not necessary.

They should be balanced, Wheel alignment has nothing to do with them,

Dropped my wheels off this afternoon and go pick them up all sorted tomorrow.So Canberra definately has stock.
Have to admit apart from the Service desk guys initial surprise it all went really smooth. He was about to say he had been expecting the car all day blah blah blah and then he read the note that said i would be dropping the wheels off to them so all in all everything went exactly as I had hoped. Fingers crossed tomorrow pickup is just as smooth .

All done and dusted. Picked up the wheels this afternoon and I now have 41A instead of my old 410
The guys at Lennocks do a great job

New wheels here too, 2 hrs and all done.. Now I know why Nissan parts are so expensive, it's to pay for all the recalls they seem to have...

Have you read any of the recall threads?
The date ranges are clearly stated somewhere in all the threads.

Thanks Nathan i havnt been on for a while until the other day and i have not heard anything about the recall . thanks again for clearing that up for me
Strange!!! Had new rims fitted and balanced on Friday, parked D40 back in garage after driving the 5km home. Moved D40 out of garage Sunday afternoon and went to shut garage door and noticed 2 strips of stick on wheel weight on the floor. Took it back this arvo to Bridgestone who did the changeover and the weights were from the rhs of the car. Both wheels have now been re balanced.
May pay for others to keep an eye on your wheel weights.

This happened to me this morning, it seems there's some sort of coating on the rims which the adhesive doesn't like. Spoke to one of the mechanics doing it and he says they use a solvent to try and wipe/clean the surface before sticking them on but you get the odd one falling off. Seems to be common'ish thing.
