I wounder if they would still fix. hummmm

 

Yeah, the dealership should repair these items due to the recalls if they haven't already been performed. The age of the car does play a role in it though, so it's best to call the dealership and discuss it with the service manager.

Here's the info. I had researched a while back (same info. from Fubar's link above):

1979-1983 280ZX Recall

i know what there saying about increased acc. in the 82 -83 cars.. my 82 non turbo auto matic.. would rev up when i shifted from park to drive... i never took it in to get fixed becuase i never knew about the recall..
