Steering wheel bolts are loose and empty. Nissan urgently recalls Altima. Steering wheel bolts are loose and empty. Nissan Motor Company urgently recalled 13,919 of its best-selling Altima models because the bolt torque pounds during manufacturing did not meet the standard, which may cause concerns about detachment and increase the risk of accidents. Nissan North America notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the recall covers 2012 and 2013 Altima sedans produced at its plant in Canton, Mississippi, between May 10 and July 26. Nissan wrote a letter to NHTSA saying: When the vehicles to be recalled were manufactured at the factory, the torque pounds of the four transverse fixed bearings and the two power-assisted steering device bolts did not meet production standards. ?/FONT> Therefore, when the vehicle is moving, the constant vibration may cause the bolts to loosen and make a rattling noise. According to the judgment of the company's professionals, if one of the bolts becomes loose and falls off, it will be difficult for the driver to control the direction of the car. However, NHTSA did not mention any injuries or accidents as a result. Nissan confirmed on September 21 that some of these vehicles are still in the hands of dealers. On October 3, it was determined that the problem was serious and involved the safety of passengers, and a recall was decided. NHTSA said Nissan dealers are asking Altima owners to take their cars to their dealerships for repairs and the torque pounds will be adjusted to meet bolt-on installation standards. The cars are still under warranty. Nissan said that starting from October 29, it will notify car owners to come in for repairs. The recalled vehicles are limited to the United States.
