I am surprised it has taken this long a friend of mine has a stack of them in his yard for repairs and has been rebuilding them since they came out.

Received a letter today and getting the job checked in Alice next week. They have done a few and have the new towbars in stock. Better to be safe I decided hmm

DEFECT:
The attachment points on the Nissan Australia genuine accessory towbars _
(part no. G9162-ECOOOAU and G9162-EC100AU) can create excessive stress
upon the chassis frame rails over time. As a result, cracks can occur at
the ends of the chassis rails. ~
HAZARD:
In extreme cases, sections of the chassis rails around the towbar attachment _
points may bend when heavy load is applied. _
_ Irrespective of whether your vehicle is fitted with one of the above towbars ~
or not, you are advised to contact your Nissan Dealer to arrange for an
inspection and where required, rectification of your vehicle. The
rectification includes the replacement of the genuine towbar to a revised _
design, and where required, the repair of the chassis rails. The inspection
and any necessary work will be performed free of charge where a genuine _
Nissan towbar is being replaced.
~ CONTACT DETAILS: -
: If you have any further enquires, please contact your Nissan Dealer or the ~
Nissan Customer Service Centre on 1800 035 035.

I figured there are many on the road who may not get their mail often - I am lucky my sis-in-law opens mine, scans and emails important stuff :)
