The recall is designed to take care of the problem, and if your engine still fails, it could be from something else, like lack of proper maintenance! Been a Nissan/Infiniti tech for almost 8 years, and I know about that. Put a few engines in those myself!
Just like Nissan North America, you're overlooking the contestment I made with this problem.

Yes the recall was done. A recall is supposed to correct HAZARDOUS DEFECT in the design of the Vehicle. My argument is that the Recall did NOT correct that defect. The HAZARDOUS DEFECT REMAINS, DESPITE A NISSAN AUTHORIZED RECALL. It's B.S. that one would need a NEW ENGINE at 80k with "normal wear and tear".

I couldn't get a class action lawsuit going, but as the numbers continue to increase by the month on this Forum, I'm certain it will happen. It's only a matter of time before someone is injured or killed due to this HAZARDOUS DESIGN DEFFECT.

I now have a new engine with 30k on it, and it looks as if I just drove it off the lot because it's been so well maintained. I had no other choice; $5k for a new engine, or $10k+ for a new car.
