Was it the D40 that suffered the chassis snapping? If so might be better selling truck.

He's only. Just. Got rit.

I think his first job is to get the chassis checked around rear axle. Think it’s effected several models of the nav and pathy.

Chassis snaps in half. At one point Nissan gave option of a replacement chassis or they buy the vehicle back.

yes nasty that is saw a vid of one with it and when it reversed the back went up like a bucking bronto.
i would have thought that all bad ones should have been found by now though.
he better get it inspecter on ramp to be safe.they did a shassis repair plates that was welded over suspect area.

I think if if he puts the VRM on the govt mot check website the recal is listed if it's outstanding.

I know you could take them in to a nissan dealer for a free check at one point.
One of the main causes was how the rear was loaded.
Too much arse end weight will cause a lever effect and put stress o n a certain point in the chassis.
Not just exclusive to the D40,many other pick ups suffer with the same issue.
