INTRODUCTION
Nissan Motor Ltd. has determined that some 2001 and 2002 model year Infiniti I30 and I35 vehicles may have a detect which relates to motor vehicle safety. On some vehicles there is a possibility that the attachment pin at the end of the front suspension transverse link on the left and right sides may break at the rear mounting bracket to the frame. This may cause a knocking sound and abnormal steering. This may result in difficulty controlling the vehicle which, if ignored, could cause a crash.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number R2007 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The number of vehicles potential affected is approximately 21,500.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the retailer's responsibility to check Infiniti Net for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealer's inventory.
Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
