Hazard

If the defect occurs, this will result in loss of steering control, posing an accident hazard.

Remedy

Owners of vehicles within the affected VIN range will be advised to contact their Nissan Dealer to arrange for an inspection of the steering wheel batch number and where necessary replacement of the steering wheel.
