Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2020 Nissan Altima S grade vehicles. The recall affects vehicles equipped with Continental ProContact TX tires, size 215/60 R16 H, with TIN date code 3320 and Mold ID S-419149. A total of 2,214 vehicles are affected by this recall.

The tires on these vehicles may have been over-cured during the manufacturing process. Over-cured tires can result in a sidewall break causing a sudden loss of air or the tread separating from the tire. Both conditions increase the risk of a crash.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle's tires to see if they are affected, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 10, 2020.
