Known issues on the 1998 Altima. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, all tied to aftermarket replacement parts rather than original equipment. Three separately recalled batches of aftermarket corner and bumper lamp assemblies lack the required amber side reflectors, reducing visibility and raising crash risk. A fourth covers aftermarket front strut mounts missing a weld joint between the bearing housing and rate plate, which can let the strut shift out of its mounting position under extreme driving and damage surrounding components. Owners have filed 128 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the lighting and suspension systems these parts replace are here.
Whether you're inspecting front strut mounts, tracing a lighting fault, or working through a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 1998 Altima.
