You hear in the news that there’s a car recall. How do you know if this affects your Nissan? Car manufacturers issue recalls when they discover a safety issue or defect with a car or its parts. This could involve issues like defective airbags or faulty brakes.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or a manufacturer such as Nissan decides if a car model is unsafe for U.S. roads. You are entitled to a free remedy for a recalled vehicle by law, and the manufacturer should cover the cost to fix or replace the problem. The only exception would be if they discover additional issues unrelated to the recall while working on your car.
