2011 Nissan Rogue Recalled For Power Steering Issue

Nissan is recalling 7,365 Rogue compact crossovers from the 2011 model year because the power-steering assist feature may stop functioning, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

In the affected vehicles, the circuit board may not have been installed in the correct position on the electric power-steering assist control unit. This could put stress on the solder of the terminal to the circuit board, causing it to crack and separate from the circuit board. If the circuit board fails, the power-steering assist feature will stop working, increasing the force needed to steer the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

The vehicles in the recall were built between August 17, 2010, and October 30, 2010. Those possibly affected can see when their car was built by checking a label affixed to the driver-side doorjamb.

The recall is expected to begin within December. Dealers will replace the EPS control unit if necessary at no charge. Owners can call Nissan at 800-647-7261 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
