Is it essential to remove the rear catalytic converters on an Elgrand?

There is research to show that some early E51 3.5L engines in Japan suffered from overheating issues. These were largely dealt with under manufacturer recall and so de-catting shouldn't be required for this vehicle. The specific model numbers which were recalled are as follows:

The recall only applies to cars made between 2002 10th April to 2006 1st November on the E51.

The issue applies to chassis numbers E51-000037-E51-156623.

On the NE51, 2002 10th April to 2006 2nd November, NE51-000040-NE51-054531.

Most of these recalls have been done.

Do you do under-sealing?
