| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle has tight steering. Barely able to turn wheel while not moving. Independent garage checked steering, found corrosion in steering linkage and notified me of recall. When contacted nissan dealer claims that recall does not cover this vehicle. Called nissan customer service number who also denied the recall. Vehicle is within the recall dates and was manufactured at smyrna, tn plant. Representative could not say why this vehicle was not included. Wanted me to take to dealer and pay to have repaired. Either nissan is not honoring the commitment to the recall or the recall needs to be expanded to include all of the effected vehicles. |
