Nissan’s Altima Recall
Nissan is getting set to recall about 3,400 Nissan Altimas because of alloy wheel problems.
The 2009 model year Altima sedans were made in the Canton plant and may have potentially defective alloy wheels, so Nissan has organized a partial recall of the vehicles. The recall campaign was posted today on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. The campaign states that some 16-inch alloy wheels may have been constructed improperly.
The defective construction may cause five or more lug nuts to come loose. Should the lug nuts become loose, it could result in a crash or a loss of control of the vehicle, the warning says.
The recall is expected to begin this month. Nissan will notify owners, who can bring their cars to dealers for inspection. Owners can also call Nissan at 1-800-647-7261. The 3,403 Altimas in question were built between July and August.
A similar recall from Nissan took place in August with Nissan recalling about 1,018 Altimas of the 2008 model year after a loose bolt in the front suspension.
Nissan’s recall demonstrates the company’s ability to make changes and keep customers up to date on what is happening, making people feel safe with the company’s products and ultimately with the company’s commitment to safety. Nissan cars have always continued to achieve high safety ratings and this year’s 2009 Altima is no exception.
