OK here is a real dumb question and I am even embarassed to ask.
My wife has a 2002 Nissan Altima and over the years we received post cards
from Nissan a few times to have the car taken to any dealer and perform some
specific services or part replacement (recall parts). I gave it to my wife
and she handles it.
I was talking to her the other day and just realized she "handled" it by
tossing them into the trash can! She thought those were just "ads"!!!
Now, I don't exactly remember what these entails but I remember getting
about three of those cards. Is there a way to check online what factory
recall service or parts were issued for a specific vehicle model?
Also, assume that we get find this information, can you still have them
remedied after so long? When the vehicle warranty is completely expired?
I hope none of them is extremely critical safety related items. Why she
would toss them away I don't understand. WOMEN!!!
Thanks!

You can check here for factory recalls and you do not need to bring post
cards to have them done. Recall remedies are free.

Your local dealer will be able to pull all recalls on the vehicle, by your
VIN number. I would recommend you contact them immediately, and make an
appointment to get those issues handled. Also, though your wife should have
been more thorough in her understanding of the situation, it should have
been your responsibility to ensure her understanding the importance of those
notices. Share the blame, my friend, after you have had those issues
resolved.

If you live in North America to maintain your base warranty and powertrain
warranty with Nissan, all that is required is a service record that shows
you have changed the oil and filter every 3 months (or there about) /5- 6000
miles. All the other service recommendations are just that, recommendations.
If the car is out of warranty why sweat it. If there have been recalls
issued by Nissan, any Nissan dealer has to do those recalls, regardless of
the service history of the car.
If you live in the UK who knows what the service requirements are.
