Issue: On certain vehicles, the front turn signal bulbs could be defective. As a result, the bulbs could crack and the turn signals may not work. Safety Risk: Front turn signals that do not work may cause a person not to recognize that the driver intends to turn or change lanes. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the lot code of the front turn signal bulbs inspected. All affected bulbs will be replaced.
