Acting??? No acting here, it is a big deal to me. It is a big deal when it has to be repeatedly replaced and the Auto Stores don't know the right one to use and we're stuck going back to the crappy Nissan one.
Maybe it's not such a big deal to you in your pick-up but for me, this is my family hauler that we travel cross-country in. The last thing I want is to have the family stuck up in the Rockies to find out too late that the radiator is out of water. I don't know about you, but my truck stickered for $48k. Please tell me of another $48k vehicle on the market that needs the radiator cap replaced every 20k-40k.
You don't have to worry about it if you choose not to. Whether they do anything about it or not is another story and I won't lose much sleep if they don't because some of the guys here have great suggestions about just bending the tabs and so forth but it's still worth bringing to Nissan's attention.
When you have a family and you're the one traveling with them in the middle of nowhere and your Hot Temp light comes on while driving at 4am Sunday morning and it's 15 degrees outside so the family has to freeze a little just to give the engine time to cool down and if you can find a dealership, it doesn't open until Monday morning, then you can come back and tell me that it's just a friggin radiator cap.
I realize you're a Nissan Tech, don't you think that you might want to consider that there could be circumstances that can turn something very petty into a big deal???
