What Happened
The steering knuckle and rear axle housing in your vehicle are crucial parts that help steer and stabilize your wheels. In certain 2020-2021 models, these parts might not be strong enough due to a manufacturing issue.
Risk if Unfixed
If you hit a curb or experience an unexpected impact, the steering knuckle or rear axle could bend or break, making it harder to steer your vehicle. This could lead to a loss of control or even a wheel coming loose, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized Nissan or INFINITI dealer will inspect and replace the affected parts, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, and it's best to contact the dealer directly for assistance.
