SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
Issued by Nissan North America, Inc. · Reported Oct 11, 2017 · 1,119 vehicles affected
What's wrong

Road salt may corrode the front coil springs, possibly resulting in the coil springs fracturing.
Consequence
If a front coil spring fractures, it may contact the tire, possibly puncturing it, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace both front coil springs, free of charge. The recall began December 6, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. This campaign expands recall 15V573.
