Nissan and Mercedes are now recalling tens of thousands of them to prevent the bottom radiator hose from being eaten through by the crank pulley.

Had it happen to mine and had to wait over a month for a replacement hose as they were on back order from Japan! Brilliant truck to drive, light years ahead of D-Max I had before but shite backup from Nissan. I don't know if I would buy another, but they are cracking good value .

From Japan? The engine is made by Renault either in France or Spain and the truck is Spanish, so what the heck are they sourcing a simple hose [that swells] from Japan for?

I did ask them the same question and tried to source one myself fro various motor factors with no success.

I did ask them why they didn't recall them when mine shat itself all over the fuel station forecourt, no answer was forthcoming at the time, but that was last September. The RAC breakdown chap who came out said then it was a very common problem. To be fair though it is the only snag I have had with the truck, at least the oil pump doesn't self destruct!

Went from a ld 90 to the dmax and much nicer to drive better on fuel. Like the front and rear camera and at a good price. Would say it is crap off road and pulling the the ld but is used on road 98% of the time
