Nissan Motor Co. announced a recall of their 2012 and 2013 Altima sedan vehicles in the U.S.

Over 13,900 Altima vehicles were made from May 10 through July 26, all of which will be recalled due to suspension issues drivers may experience, according to Reuters. The cars were produced at the Nissan plant in Canton, MS.

The issue that resulted in the recall was caused by certain bolts in the vehicle that were not as tightly fastened as they should have been, which could cause them to fall off. The National Traffic Safety Administration stated that this could cause suspension issues which could potentially result in an accident.

"Some of the subject vehicles may have been manufactured with four transverse link bolts and two power steering rack bolts that were not torqued to the proper specification," Nissan told the National Traffic Safety Administration in a letter the company showed on their website.

In September, the company stated that they had been receiving complaints about the vehicle from many Nissan dealerships, which caused the company to investigate the car, according to Reuters. Earlier this month on Oct. 3, they determined that the car did include a defect and since then they had been discussing at great length over what they should do about the issue.

The company opted to go with a recall in hopes that they can successfully fix the issue in all of the Altima vehicles that have been sold already.

Those who own a 2012 or 2013 Altima will be asked to bring their cars into the closest Nissan dealerships so that Nissan professionals can inspect the bolts and take care of the problem according to the NTSA.

Owners will begin to receive letters in the mail on whether they should bring their vehicle in or not starting on Oct. 29, according to Nissan.

The recall couldn't have come at a worse time for the company, as they have seen great sale numbers from the Altima sedan the past couple of months.

Altima sales through September were up 17 percent compared to this time last year after selling 234,040 vehicles. 27 percent of the cars Nissan sold in September were Altima vehicles.

No accidents or deaths have been reported from the issues with the car.
