The recall is to address an upper front strut insulator issue which could lead to a crack in the strut insulator. The front strut insulator might have been manufactured out of specification and, if cracked, could cause the strut rod to come out of its mounting position. This would compromise the vehicle’s stability and could cause a crash.
Nissan dealers will replace both front strut insulators at no charge.
