Nissan Altima: Tires
Affects Nissan Altima · 2013 — about 10K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the spare tire may have been under- or over-inflated during assembly. In some instances, the over-inflation may have been significant. High trunk compartment temperature, such as when the vehicle is parked in the sun, could cause an over-inflated tire to burst. Also, if the spare tire is installed as a road wheel, an under- or over-inflated tire could fail. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will check and, as necessary, either adjust the spare tire inflation pressure or replace the spare tire.
