Details
What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles, the accessory tow hitch attachment bolts may not have been tightened to the proper specification.
Why it matters: This could cause the tow hitch to loosen or separate from the vehicle which could result in a crash without warning.
The fix: Dealers will tighten the tow hitch. The recall began on January 3, 2005. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
