What this recall means for you
Some front steering knuckles or rear axle housings may not be strong enough because of an improper heat-treatment process. If the part deforms after an impact, such as hitting a curb, the driver can lose steering control, or a wheel could separate from the vehicle. Either problem can raise the risk of a crash.
An authorized dealer will inspect the front steering knuckle and rear axle housing and replace either part if needed. The repair is free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 26, 2021. Nissan owners can call 1-800-867-7669 and INFINITI owners can call 1-800-662-6200 for more information.
