Nissan Recalls Pathfinder in U.S. Due to Potential Risk on Rims

Nissan has recently announced to recall its Rogue, Pathfinder, and Infiniti QX60 models in North America due to a safety concern on possible loosening of bolts installed on rims, as they are found not securely fastened to the required torque strength.

According to the data released by U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 334 units of vehicles are in recall. “Nuts installed on rims at the right-hand side of a car are not securely fastened to the required torque strength, as a result, if one nut is loosened, it may cause the loosening of other nuts, and what’s worse, the falloff of rims that is very likely to result in collision.” Models being recalled this time are all manufactured during March 7 to 10 of 2014. Nissan and its dealers are contacting car owners to have their cars inspected starting from the second half of June. Bolts on rims will be re-fastened to the required strength including extra maintenance and repair service for free.
