Defect:
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 nissan altima sedan vehicles manufactured from april 25, 2011, through june 10, 2011 at the canton, mississippi plant. the transverse link bolt may not have been torqued to the proper specification. this condition could cause the bolt to become loose while the vehicle is being driven, creating a rattling noise and vibration.
