Component
SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The coil springs in your Versa's front suspension help absorb bumps on the road. Over time, road salt could weaken these springs and cause them to break.
Risk if Unfixed
If a coil spring breaks, it could touch your tire and potentially puncture it. This could lead to a flat tire, which could cause a loss of control while driving.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace both front coil springs with new ones at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice from Nissan.
