Headlamp Recall
- Thread starter MTN FX
- Start date
Wow, I didn't see this. But I highly doubt it was bought used. My mother paid $40k+ for it in '06 and the model is an 06' FX35.
I hope they're not trying to avoid replacing my headlights.. -______-
The recall was only for early 2006. They actually stopped shipment in the middle of the model year and held a lot of cars at the ports to swap out the lights before delivering them to the dealers.
DAMNIT! My passenger headlight still has condensation
Here is a photo rookie took of the fxs being held at port on the west coast. He said there were also 2 or 3 more sections full as well:

Does the dealership have to turn in the replaced parts to Infiniti? Is there any slim chance they'd let the old lights go?

Joe, you should've told us you planned on going there when you mounted your Axis's! I know the service advisor really well, Mike. I could've had him swap sport heads and tails for you, lol. That new dealer is very nice. I live seven minutes from there. They have in house alignment there, which is really nice. By the way, its in Clarendon Hills, not Westmont. :tongue (2):
Wow, nice to hear that Joe. Didn't know there is a recall for the taillights. So how is your camber now?
I beleive the recall was for more than just 2006 I hade my 04 swapped out. The TSB reads---
2003–2006 INFINITI FX; VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN HEADLAMP ASSEMBLYNissan has determined that on some model Year 2003-2006 Infiniti FX35/45 vehicles, the headlamps fail to comply with certain requirements set forth in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108.
My reply there was specific to g0ld. He wanted to know why the dealer told him that the recall didn't apply to his 06.
Oh ok got it my bad haven't had my coffee yet :smile (2):My reply there was specific to g0ld. He wanted to know why the dealer told him that the recall didn't apply to his 06.

Dang sports? That sux but can't be too mad, got a lot for free. Maybe the rear tailight recall is new, not sure but they did it there.
Clarendon hills, really? Not more than 1min East of my work, prob just over the fence right there. Didn't mount the Axis there, just had the in house Alignment done. Mounted and balanced at my work then I put them on over the weekend so I could play with the height a bit. You should hit me up some time or stop by Mercedes since your so close.

Camber is much better but not perfect, debating on the camber kit or an extra set of tread, very close in price. She sure handles good though:wink (2):
awesome! congrats!

UM YES, we can chat Sunday, THANKS HA!
How do you know which headlights got the recall? Specially if your buying the headlights on eBay?
There just no way to tell from outside. The only to tell is open the bulb cap and look through the lens. If you see clearly, its pre-recall. If blury it's post. To me there is no point to identify prep/post. Just buy the headlight if the price is right. Most of us going to open it up and paint the shroud anyway, while at it put some clear lens from TRS FX-R TSX-R lens in there. The result is way better.
