Nissan Recalling 26,000 2009-2010 Altimas and Maximas
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a recall for 2009 and 2010 Nissan Altima and Maxima models to correct the problem with faulty suspension components that may contribute to an accident. This recall involves up to 26,398 vehicles. The component that may cause this issue has been identified as the upper front strut insulators. The poor design insulators may crack; allowing the struts to move and get miss positioned which in turn can cause vehicle instability and potentially lead to a crash.
Nissan dealerships will rectify this problem at no charge to the customers. Theofficial recall campaign begins October 5, but consumers may contact Nissan at 1-800-NISSAN1 (1-800-647-7261), or the NHTSA’s Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) for further information.
