That is correct. It is not a recall and they wll treat it on case by case basis as reported by customers.

Re: WARNING: T31 Potential Rust Spot
Good stuff. Now that you know how easy it is to inspect, you can keep an eye on it and check these screws every now and then.
From the photos I have seen of this finisher, there seems to be a rubber seal on the edge of it to prevent it from touching the paint of the tailgate from the outside, so it is quite possible that the rust experienced by some xtrailers is linked to this rubber seal either falling off somehow or that it was not correctly fitted during assembly at the factory.

I just got my xtrail for nearly a month. It was built in Jan 09, after I read this thread I checked the finisher but found no sign of rust yet (just outside though). Now another other problem come up with the high mounted brake light. I think I just have to call the Nissan service people,explain these problems and ask them to check them this Monday. I think Nissan should have a recall regarding to the chrome finisher.
He was impressed
