How long is the warranty for the X-Trail's tie rod?
2 Answers
The warranty for the X-Trail's tie rod is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. The tie rod is a crucial component in the vehicle's steering system, directly impacting the stability of the car's handling, operational safety, and the lifespan of the tires. Taking the 2021 X-Trail as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4675mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1722mm in height, a wheelbase of 2706mm, and a curb weight of 1489kg. The 2021 X-Trail is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 151PS, a maximum torque of 194Nm, and a maximum power output of 111kW, paired with a 7-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT).
I've been driving the X-Trail for several years. I remember the warranty for the tie rod is generally three years, similar to the basic vehicle warranty coverage, but it depends on the purchase year and mileage of your car. For example, my friend's car had steering noise at 30,000 kilometers, and the dealership handled it for free, indicating it was still under warranty. When driving, always pay attention to whether the steering feels smooth—noises or looseness are early warnings. Regular maintenance, such as checking the steering system every six months, can extend its lifespan. Nissan's warranty typically covers three years or around 100,000 kilometers. It's best not to push beyond the warranty period and risk safety. If you're unsure, check the owner's manual or visit the dealership to confirm details to avoid unnecessary expenses for major repairs.
