SEPTEMBER 2009
-- Nissan is recalling
certain model year 2009 and
2010 Altima and Maxima
passenger cars. The upper
front strut insulators may
have been manufactured out
of specification resulting
in a potential for the strut
insulator to crack. If the
strut insulator is cracked,
there is a potential for the
strut rod to come out of its
mounting position, which
could affect vehicle
stability and increase the
risk of a crash. Nissan will
notify owners and dealers
will replace both left and
right side front strut
insulators free of charge.
The safety recall is
expected to begin during
October 2009. 09V-358

NEWS:
Nissan Recalls Vehicles, Citing Ignition Defect
(AP)
-- October 20, 2006 -- Nissan Motor Co. has begun recalling more than 130,000 vehicles globally because of a defect with the ignition key system.
The vehicles being recalled include 70,000 Murano SUVs and 10,000 Maxima sedans that were sold in North America.
The recalls involve only models using Nissan's "intelligent keys" with integrated circuit chips inside, which enable drivers to open their car doors with their keys still inside their pockets by just pressing on the handle.
