What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front steering knuckles may not have been properly heat-treated. As a result, a strong impact (such as hitting a curb) could cause a steering knuckle to bend or break. If this happens, the steering wheel may become off-center or there could be a loss of steering control and a wheel could separate.

Why it matters

A loss of steering control and/or a wheel separation could increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the production date on the casting stamp of the front steering knuckles. Parts that are affected by this problem will be replaced.

Transport Canada lists: R 2016–2021

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a carbon fiber trunk, the emergency trunk release was not installed inside the trunk. This could prevent a person that is trapped inside the trunk from opening it.

Why it matters

If a person is closed inside the trunk, they may not be able to get out. This could create a risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install the trunk release mechanism.
