WASHINGTON, D.C. –
Nissan is recalling just under 14,000 Altimas built this spring and summer to correct a potential issue with transverse link bolts and power steering rack bolts.
According to a notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, there are potentially 13,919 units from the 2012 and 2013 model-years that could be affected.
The recalled Altima vehicles were built between May 10 and July 26 of this year.
The automaker is conducting the recall because these units “may have been equipped with transverse link bolts and power steering rack bolts that were not torque to proper specification,” NHTSA noted.
“The affected bolts could become loose and fall out which may lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash,” NHTSA added.
The safety recall is likely to start around Monday of next week. Nissan will alert owners to the recall, and its dealers will tighten the bolts to meet the torque specifications.
