The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has just closed a seven-year investigation into certain Nissan Altima and Maxima models, yet despite that drawn-out process, the feds won’t be mandating a recall. NHTSA closed its investigation into 2 million Nissan sedans today, saying that declining numbers of reports contributed to its decision not to mandate a recall. The investigation was intended to decide if the lower rear control arms on those vehicles were faulty, given they had a tendency to crack and separate from the chassis due to corrosion from road grime and salt.
