## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2020 Nissan Murano vehicles.  The left and/or right\-hand transverse link may not have been manufactured correctly, which could result in it separating from the ball joint.


## What can happen

Ball joint separation can cause a loss of vehicle control, and increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transverse link's lot codes, and if necessary, replace them and perform a vehicle alignment, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on May 6, 2021.  Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1\-800\-867\-7669.  Nissan's number for this recall is PC797.
