NHTSA recall 02V146000
Suspension · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the pin at the end of the front suspension transverse link (lower control arm) could break where it is mounted to the frame.
Why it matters: This can cause a knocking sound and abnormal steering. This could result in difficulty controlling the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the transverse links on the left and right sides with new ones. Owner notification began July 29, 2002.
