The front crash zone sensor in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps the airbags deploy in a crash. In areas with heavy road salt use, salt and water can seep into the sensor's housing and cause it to rust, which could disrupt the signal. If the sensor fails, the front airbags might not deploy in a collision, which could increase the risk of injury. Your Nissan dealer will replace the faulty sensor with a redesigned one, free of charge.

What Happened

The lower control arm is a key part that connects your vehicle's chassis to its wheels, helping you steer and stay stable on the road. In some 2004-2010 model year Nissans, the welds on the control arm's attachment points might not be strong enough.

Risk if Unfixed

If the welds fail, the control arm can break, causing your vehicle to handle poorly. This could lead to a loss of control and a crash.

Free Fix

Your Nissan dealer will replace the affected control arm with a new one, free of charge. You'll get a notice with more information and should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
