What NHTSA recorded

Possible consequence

Breakage of the guide pin can cause loss of braking ability or loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Nova will notify owners and dealers will install new guide pins at each wheel end on suspect axles, free of charge. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR4079.
