Official summary
Nissan service campaign: see document search button for owner letter. 1997-2004 qx4. In states where heavy concentrations of road salt are used in the winter, the front driver¿s side strut housing can develop corrosion that may cause damage. This may allow the housing to contact the steering column. This would create noise and a difference in steering effort. It may lead to steering system damage, and possibly brake line damage. *rm updated 9/27/11. *pe updated 02/06/12. *pe updated 6/12/12. *pe updated 8/22/12. *pe updated 12/19/13. *pe updated 12/26/13. *pe
