Just bought a 2004 Altima 3.5 with 18,500 miles on it. Of course with that low mileage it's super quiet, but I see in the Service Bulletin that it's listed as possibly affected. I see the 2002 and 2003 3.5L V6 Altimas were not on the bulletin’s list.

So what's the cause of the tensioner problem? Was it a redesign or was it inferior materials or manufacturing that causes this problem? Seems like not every car in the affected list will experience the issue.

My 2004 was built in Oct 2003, so maybe it's possible that it has the better parts used in the 2002 and 2003 model years?
