Component
SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The coil springs in your Versa's front suspension are like the shock absorbers that help your car ride smoothly. Over time, road salt can damage these springs, causing them to break.
Risk if Unfixed
If one of these springs breaks, it could hit your tire and puncture it, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace both front coil springs with new ones, at no cost to you. Just schedule an appointment when you receive the recall notice.
