620 Recall

[Jersey]

Given all the recalls that we've seen on today's vehicles, does anyone remember if the 620 was subject to any recalls during its production run?

Jersey,

In the years I worked for Datsun/Nissan in Seattle I don't recall anything concerning 620's. There was a service bulletin about oil consumption which resulted in new rings for a few vehicles. There was also a bulletin about the five speed trucks having the mainshaft retainer nut backing off. Neither of these two resulted in a recall.

Lowrd,

Well that's good to hear that the 620's had no issues that would cause them to be recalled!

Thanks for the info! Jersey

They should be recalled because you need a flash light to read the dash lights at night.

A 620 "recall" is when someone RECALLS how great they were/are and laments selling theirs.I get this 4-5 times a month.

the plethora of recalls now days are a result of the litigious society we have become. Hell what was the original warranty on a datsun, 12/12? I'm sure it was no where near today 3/36 - 5/60 powertrain

I recalled mine to upgrade the alt. Dash lights are plenty bright now :lol:

The only Datsun recall I can think of offhand was some B210s were recalled due to inadequate fuel tank mounting hardware, and the recall was to reinforce the mounts.

 

Nissan's first really bad recall was the Vanette, which was subject to a total recall buyback in 1994 due to engine fires.

Why would they recall something that's almost perfect? :D

I have the "warranty and service booklet" for one on my 521 pickups.

12 months, 12,000 miles.

A few of the 620's were recalled, it was mostly from owners not being bad ass enough to own them. There aren't any issues with that now, all of the ones recalled have been taken care of, and now the ones still running are in proper hands. There has not been an issue with idiots since the early 90's. Mine was recalled about a year and a half ago, but it was recently given back for a "second chance" ;)
