Recall for possible oil leaks from faulty bolts.

Recall: 14,718 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles for possible oil leaks from faulty bolts. Follow the link to Consumer Reports article.

While many Infiniti models affected, including 2012 M37, G37 is not in the recall list. We should follow this closely.

Those bolts were probably specific to those applications. Most likely G37s used a different set up. Dont lose sleep!!
