## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2020 Nissan Murano, INFINITI QX60, 2021 Nissan GT\-R, INFINITI QX50, and Q50 vehicles.  The front steering knuckle or rear axle housing may have insufficient strength due to improper heat\-treatment.


## What can happen

The steering knuckle or rear axle could deform upon impact, such as from hitting a curb, resulting in a loss of steering control, or possible wheel separation.  Both of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the front steering knuckle and rear axle housing, as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed July 26, 2021.  Nissan owners may contact customer service at 1\-800\-867\-7669.  INFINITI owners may contact customer service at 1\-800\-662\-6200.


## 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.nhtsa.gov.
