I will book mine in with my nissan dealer ASAP I have 69 plate and don't want the worry...
There’s no proof of this, just pure assumption.
After holding both parts and comparing, I highly doubt it’s a fix. But that’s my opinion

Wow well I'm not sure what to do now....I thought this would be a solution...it's got me worried I've only had the car since Thursday purchased and delivered maybe send it back under the 14 day distance selling act 😪
Condition of mine in picture looks OK ATM 😬
I don't suppose there's anyway to tell what version I have just looking at it? It has a QR code sticker 😆
If you look at some older posts, people have been able to scan that qr code and identify which part they have but personally I can’t see the point. I’ve seen no official statement from Nissan saying the latest part is a fix for this issue, in fact they’ve been very ignorant of the issue as a whole. The updated part could be for something completely different and the only difference in the parts is an area that’s on the opposite side to the part that fails. To be as cautious as possible, I personally would consider the shelf life of both parts to be 4-5years regardless of which part they are and replace them when they get to that age. Much cheaper than a new engine.
I think it would be irresponsible for anyone to tell you the latest part is a permanent solution without any evidence to back it up as that would leave them open to blame if in 4-5 years these newer parts start failing.
You might be lucky and never have an issue but it’s a risk that I wouldn’t take.
Like I said, just my opinion of course

I bought a late 20 reg with 15k miles in January, it also had the latest part fitted, though I didn't discover that until it was replaced. As others have said, at the age yours is now probably worth getting it replaced. When I inspected the one I took out of mine I couldn't see any signs of splitting or damage, but evidently it's a time\wear issue and they don't give any pre indication before failing.

I’d totally agree with that, it just happens to be the current part number, doesn’t mean it’s been modified or indeed rectified.
My car is a 2020 and my housing looks like new, but if I decide to keep the car another year I’ll replace it as a matter of just fitting a brand new one which should last another four or five years without exploding.
It will be my last Qashqai though, I’m not a big fan of the latest shape ones, and I feel utterly let down by Nissan.

Sure, but if my car is a 2019, should it be using this part number? Or an older version?
I'll get it done for my peace of mind, but what if this part wasn't available in 2019?
