I had to get the tranny lockplate recall done in Germany while stationed there about two years ago. I was lucky that my wife is German. We went to the local Nissan dealer in Mannheim and they all came out and looked at my Xterra. That was a bad sign since they had never seen one before. Anyways, my wife translated the recall letter to them and there was two courses of action. 1) Pay the dealer install it and get reimbursed by Nissan or 2) Call Nissan USA and explain the situation and have them ship the part to Germany and have the German dealer send the bill to Nissan USA. I did option two and had no problems.
Incidentally, my wife took the Xterra in to the dealer in January to get the wheels replaced under the recall for those and they reapplied the transmission lock plate since there was no record of it being done before in the US. So it was done twice.
