What Happened
The front steering knuckle and rear axle in your vehicle are critical parts that help you steer and control your car. In some 2020-2021 models, these parts might not be strong enough, which could cause problems if you hit a curb or another object.
Risk if Unfixed
If the steering knuckle or rear axle gets damaged, it could bend or break, leading to a loss of steering control. This means you might not be able to steer your car properly, which could cause a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized Nissan or INFINITI dealer will inspect and replace the affected parts, if needed, at no cost to you. This service is free, so schedule an appointment as soon as you get the recall notice.
