Recalls

1 vehicle recall from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Suspension, Steering Vehicle recall #21V402000 · 2021 · 14,276 vehicles

What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020 Nissan murano, Infiniti qx60, 2021 Nissan gt-r, Infiniti qx50, and q50 vehicles. The front steering knuckle or rear axle housing May have insufficient strength due to improper heat-treatment.

Why it matters: The steering knuckle or rear axle could deform upon impact, such as from hitting a curb, resulting in a loss of steering control, or possible wheel separation. Both of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the front steering knuckle and rear axle housing, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 26, 2021. Nissan
