The problem
Nissan is recalling 1,018 my 2008 altima vehicles. The left side front suspension transverse link bolt May not have been tightened to specification. This condition could cause the bolt to become loose while the vehicle is being driven.

The fix
Dealers will tighten the transverse link bolt to specification free of charge. The recall began on August 11, 2008. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
