The problem
On certain vehicles, the rear subframe May have been manufactured incorrectly, which could result in a crack in a bracket which holds part of the rear suspension.
The risk
If the bracket is cracked, the stability of the vehicle May be affected under severe driving conditions. This could lead to a loss of control of the vehicle which could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the rear subframe to determine if it was manufactured incorrectly and replace it, if necessary. The recall began on February 27, 2006. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
