Simple answer: Example: Nissan recalled GTR steering locks in March 2010. (Nissan Service Campaign Bulletin NTB10-025 dated 18 March 2010) with owner's letter. The Z has exactly the same steering lock but was not recalled. The dud locks dump the owner anywhere/everywhere and Nissan can play hardball "blame the owner" games for being silly enough to pay for the car, get stranded by a known problem, and then be accused.
Nissan rely on the dealer (however good or bad) for dogmatic warranty claim rejections without recourse to owner or a service rep. Dictatorship prevails.
Nissan's recall in October 2010 of ignition relays went back to 2003 (don't they learn?)
for 2.14 million cars (not Zs but who needs this scarcely accidental being dumped in the bush idea?)
Check out various owner or trade sites. The 2009 Z cars were worst hit with "B" series locks. Nissan OK'd "C" series locks on GTRs but then moved on to Series "D" and then dumped the whole idea for 2012 production.
No way to promote an otherwise lovely little car.
