Subject: Pretty big recall. Sounds like ALL 2002-2004 Xterras are affected

"DETROIT—Nissan Motor Co. is recalling more than 600,000 vehicles in North and South America and Africa due to steering or battery cable problems.

The Japanese automaker said Thursday that the steering recall affects 303,000 Frontier pickup trucks and 283,000 Xterra sport utility vehicles in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and other Latin American countries. Nissan said a corrosion problem with the lower steering column joint and shaft can limit steering movement, making the vehicles difficult to steer. In some cases the corrosion can cause the joint to crack.*"

"The 2002-2004 North American Xterras in the recall were made from July 9, 2001, to Jan. 6, 2005, also at the Smyrna plant."

Although it doesn't sound like your X is going to blow up or anything, I would recommend this....

If you have one- get it fixed right now. Don't wait. Because it sounds to me like they don't have anywhere near enough parts yet. So if you are smart, you'll do it now and get it over with instead of waiting and waiting for parts. I would call my dealership and see if they can't do it tomorrow.
