The tie rod assembly in your Sentra helps steer your vehicle by connecting the steering wheel to the wheels. In certain 2020-2022 models, the tie rod may bend.
Risk if Unfixed
If the tie rod bends and breaks, you could lose control of your steering wheel while driving, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will inspect and replace any bent or broken tie rods, and once new parts are available, they'll replace both tie rods for free. If you're experiencing steering issues, contact your dealer for transport assistance and scheduling.
