2003 Nissan Altima cooling system problems

This is in regards to recall # 06v242000. My car is doing exactly what the problem is on this recall. They already "fixed" the problem but the sensor is still throwing faults once in a while. This last time my car shutdown at a slow speed and I lost control of the power steering and hit a curb. This issue needs to be fixed. Auto zone said the crankshaft position sensor is bad and will cost $60 for the part. But how much to put it in? $100 $200? This has been happening a lot, as I've searched on the forums.

Crankshaft sensor needs to be replaced or reprogrammed, but nissan will not because it doesn't fall in their list of affected VIN #'s. My question would be, what does it take to get included? Does someone have to die? Or get seriously injured? It apparently is not just those VIN # specific as it affects mine vehicle now.
