NISSAN RECALLS 143,000 PRODUCTS
Nissan will recall as many as 143,000 2008 and 2009 Nissan and Infiniti products due to a faulty tire-pressure monitoring system nut that may fail in areas like Chicagoland where heavy amounts of road salt are used during the winter. A cracked nut could fall out the sensor-transmitter it secures. If a driver disregards the indicator on the dash alerting him to the problem, the tire could go flat, resulting in an accident.
The recall is focused on certain vehicles from the 2008-2010 model years originally sold or currently registered in a number of states, including Illinois.
Nissan will replace the nut on affected vehicles for free. For more information, contact Nissan at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 800-662-6200.
