Description of the problem	While getting a new york state inspection, i was informed that both my rear control arms were either cracked or would break soon. The manager informed me of the potential danger of a control arm failing while driving, so without hesitation i had both of them repaired in order to pass inspection. The manager at the nissan dealership had recommended to get both sides repaired because he had seen dozens of cars of the same exact year and model (2013 nissan altima sv sedan) with the same problem. From my research, it appears that regions that use salt to clear roads in the winter have or will encounter a failing control arm and that a refund for the repairs is possible. I live in a town near utica, ny where we average over 100 inches of snow a year, so i was alarmed when i was rejected for a reimbursement from nissan when contacting them. If nissan has a service campaign, they are not doing it fast enough which endangers the lives of people every mile they drive in a 2013 altima. I urge you to please make this problem one of your priorities before more cars continue to fail. My control arms just recently failed, but it could be because our region uses salt on the roadways for about 6 months a year. Other regions that use less salt will most likely take longer to fail; so every year, there should be more and more cars to report this issue. I was lucky enough to catch the problem because of the inspection, so please help to report this known safety issue to prevent any casualties. P. S- the photo provided below is of a 2013 nissan altima that was next to mine. I asked the mechanic if i could take a picture of what the issue looked like since my problem was repaired at that moment.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
