## What is wrong

Nissan is recalling certain model year 2012 Frontier, Pathfinder, and Xterra two\-wheel drive vehicles manufactured from June 19, 2012, through July 12, 2012.  These vehicles may have been equipped with front wheel hubs that may not meet the design hardness specifications.  A wheel hub that was manufactured below hardness specification may wear prematurely and eventually crack.


## What can happen

If the vehicle is driven in this condition, the wheel hub may break, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replaced the left and right side front wheel hub assemblies free of charge.  The safety recall began on October 22, 2012.  Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service at 1\-800\-647\-7261.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
