Nissan is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin a recall of 48,700 pickup trucks and SUVs due to a defect in the suspension that could cause the ride of the vehicles to become rough and loud.
Expected to begin next week, the recall covers the 2010 Nissan Armada, Frontier, Titan, Pathfinder and Xterra, as well as the Infiniti QX56. It’s important to note that the recall will not include every one of these vehicles manufactured in the 2010 model year, so it’s important to find out if a particular vehicle is included.
The lower suspension control link of these vehicles may not have been welded properly in some instances. This could lead to a crack in the bushing collar and cause the vehicle to ride very roughly and noisily. So far, though, the defect has not caused any accidents, according to Nissan.
We’ll update readers when specific recall information is released.
