2020 Nissan Murano recalls

Suspension: rear, axle, spindle · Steering: linkages, knuckle, spindle, arm

NHTSA campaign 21V402000 · reported May 27, 2021 · Nissan North America, Inc. · 14,276 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020 Nissan Murano, INFINITI QX60, 2021 Nissan GT-R, INFINITI QX50, and Q50 vehicles. The front steering knuckle or rear axle housing may have insufficient strength due to improper heat-treatment.
