What to Do After Nissan recalls
Nissan recalls can happen for a range of reasons just like they do for other car manufacturers. The recent Nissan transmission recall is dealing with the transmission parking pawl. Other parts, from tires to internal electronics to even the engine can be potentially defective or otherwise problematic. Most of the time these recalls are safety-related, although they dont necessarily need to be. In instances like this, the manufacturer issues a recall and sends notice by mail to potentially affected vehicles.
There are also online databases maintained by manufacturers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to look this information up. If your vehicle is affected, call your dealerships service department and schedule an appointment. There your car can receive a much-needed replacement.
