Recall 02V146000: Lower Control Arm Defect

DEFECT: On some passenger vehicles, the pin at the end of the front suspension transverse link (lower control arm) could break where it is mounted to the frame. This can cause a knocking sound and abnormal steering, resulting in difficulty controlling the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY: Dealers will replace the transverse links on the left and right sides with new ones. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began June 24, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
