Ottawa, ON. – Transport Canada has released its latest recalls, which may affect some Nissan and Pontiac models.
Nissan
Units Affected – 1,058
Altima: 2013
On certain vehicles, two power steering rack bolts and four transverse link bolts may not have been sufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. Should any of these bolts loosen and fall out, the driver could lose vehicle control, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will tighten the affected bolts to the specified torque.
Pontiac
Units Affected – 16,724
Vibe: 2009
On certain vehicles, due to improperly applied grease, the driver’s side power window master switch could stick or become inoperative. If attempts are made to lubricate the switch, the switch assembly could overheat and melt. A melting switch may produce smoke and potentially lead to a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the driver’s power window master switch and apply a specialized grease that inhibits heat build-up, or replace the power window master switch circuit board, as necessary.
