The stupid thing here is that this recall is issued by Nissan but not instigated by Nissan. Nissan didn't make the wheels therefore it's manufacturer that's prompted Nissan to make the call the easiest way they know how through possibly effected VIN's in a date range.
In some ways I feel sorry for Nissan having to wear this recall, there would have been other rims made in the same factory which the manufacture would have had to recall through other means. Notifying Nissan that batch XYZ sold between date 1 and 2 means the manufacturer is getting the easy run and Nissan are doing their recall for them.
Doesn't excuse the attitudes of some dealers and phone workers but from experience we all know dealers get told as little as they need when it suits the manufacturer, so it's not overly surprising.
