One of the most recent marketing efforts from Nissan has focused on a new direction. This advertising campaign, which uses print, direct mail, online and broadcast media, focuses on third-party recommendations of Nissan vehicles.

One commercial, for example, talks about a competitor of the Nissan Altima. It is described in the words of auto magazines as “perfectly boring” and “dull as dishwater.” The announcer then says, “Quality doesn’t have to be boring,” and highlights the Nissan Altima.

The campaign uses the words of some of the leading authorities in the automotive world to get the point across that Nissan vehicles are some of the best vehicles on the road today.

There are several trim levels available for the Nissan Altima. Even the base Altima 2.5 has plenty to offer a family. It includes a trip computer, air conditioning and full power accessories. The ride to grandma’s house is plenty comfortable in this vehicle.

The 2.5 S adds more family-friendly features. You get a 6-speaker CD audio system, along with an auxiliary jack for the kids to plug in their MP3 players into the car. The next step up, the Altima 3.5 SE, gives you plenty of other upgrades, as well.

The Altima 3.5 SL is the top of the line model and features plenty more creature comforts. There are rear passenger vents for the dual zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth, a 9-speaker Bose audio system with an in-dash satellite radio and CD/MP3 player.

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.
