[QUOTE="Adam@Rumen, post: 5392112, member: 8820"] Hi I'm sure there are a few of us on here with a D40 Navara so thought I would do a write up on the current chassis inspections, I'm sure there are plenty of folk who aren't aware... It is well know that the D40 has a weak chassis and eventually splits in half. Nissan are doing something about it now and any D40s can be taken to a dealer for an inspection, however they have to be 12 years & under for Nissan to do anything about it. This is not a recall, merely a "gesture of goodwill". Make sure the dealer you take it to, takes the tub off the back. The first dealer I took mine to didn't do this, and gave it a clean bill of health even though I knew there was rotting underneath. Took it to a different one as I wasn't happy, they did a much more thorough job. The dealer takes pictures of the chassis & holes/rot, writes a report and sends it off to Nissan Head Office. Head office then come back to you with 3 options. 1) - chassis is fine - they will send vehicle to a body shop, have the chassis sprayed and hope it lasts a bit longer 2) - chassis needs repair - they send pickup to Spain to have a new box section put on around chassis. Takes 3-4 months. You get a brand new NP300 (new shape) Navara as a courtesy vehicle. 3) - D40 is bought back by Nissan & scrapped. This has just happened to my 07 plate. You get a 1 time offer which you cannot contest, simply take it or leave it. They bank transfer you the money and come and collect it a few weeks later. If your pickup is approaching 12 years old, be better to get it checked sooner rather than later. Cheers [/QUOTE]
