Nissan recently recalled a number of its 2008 Altimas.  The issue relates to a loose bolt, which could lead to disastrous results if it fell out, including difficulty in steering the car. 

According to a report issued by NHTSA, the transverse link bolt on the front suspension may not always be tightened to specifications before it leaves the factory.  NHTSA further said that this could cause the bolt to become loose and possibly fall out while the vehicle is being driven.  If this occurs, the driver may lose control of the car, resulting in a crash.  

If you own a 2008 Nissan Altima, take it in to the dealer immediately.  Due to the recall, Nissan dealers will tighten the bolt free of charge.  For more information, contact Nissan at (800) 647-7261.

When automobiles leave the factory without being properly made according to the specifications, this can lead to disastrous consequences.  These types of cases fall under the category of Products Liability.  If you have been injured due to a defective product, and would like to speak to a lawyer, contact St. Louis personal injury lawyer Josh Myers.
