Details

What's wrong: The lower control link assembly has two cylindrical collars forming the inboard attachment points to the chassis. Due to an improper welding process some collars may contain welds that do not meet strength specifications.

Why it matters: If the collar weld separates, the vehicle handling will deteriorate, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

The fix: Nissan will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on May 20, 2010.
