Component
SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The coil springs in your vehicle's suspension system help absorb bumps on the road. Over time, road salt in areas where you live could cause these springs to corrode and break, even if you can't see any damage.
Risk if Unfixed
If a coil spring breaks, it could hit your tire and puncture it. This could make your vehicle harder to control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace both front coil springs with new ones, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
