Any spec-v owners go in for recall yet?

Wondering if anyone had to bring their spec-v in for the pre-cat recall yet?

I'm curious to see what changes they make to the heat sheilds and bottom of the exhaust pipe, if any.

The recall is for 2.5L Sentras and Altimas my2002-2004 due to the cheap pre-cat failing and screwing up the rings. The damn thing should not be on our cars to begin with. Just another reason to put a Hotshot on!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Hey don't they send out letters on this?!

yes they do...and they are going to see your balance shafts removed most likely if they start inspecting the car.
