Nissan is preparing to recall 48,700 trucks and SUVs for issues relating to the suspension on the U.S.-built vehicles. Some of, but not all 2010 Nissan Armada, Frontier, Titan, Pathfinder, Xterra and Infiniti QX56 models are expected to be involved in the recall. No official recall has been issued yet, however, as Nissan awaits information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The issue with the trucks and SUVs involves a lower suspension control link that may not have been welded properly and as a result cause the bushing collar to crack, creating a rough and noisy ride. The potential recall isn't so much a safety issue as a driveability issue and no accidents have been reported.

In the wake of the Toyota recall crisis, NHTSA has also been under increased scrutiny, issuing an alarmingly high number of recalls.

So far this is ONLY an inspection and we do not even have the parts to replace them at the dealership yet.

I got this notice in the mail from Nissan yesterday regarding 2005-2010 Xterras:

1. If you know that the lower control links in your vehicle were not replaced between November 25, 2009 and May 14, 2010, no further action is required on your part.

2. If you did have a lower control link on your vehicle replaced between November 25, 2009 and May 14, 2010 or you do not know if one was replaced, please contact your Nissan Dealer at your earliest convenience in order to arrange an appointment to have your vehicle inspected, and if necessary, repaired.


Thats it thats all folks.
