Nissan North America is recalling 20,040 model year 2021 Versa and Kicks vehicles due to a defect in the electric power steering torque sensor. An intermittent electrical connection within this sensor can cause the power steering assist to stop working while the vehicle is in motion. Nissan dealers will inspect the steering column torque sensor lot code and replace the steering column assembly if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were scheduled to be mailed beginning November 9, 2022.
If the power steering assist is disabled, the steering wheel will become much harder to turn, particularly at low speeds. This unexpected increase in steering effort can lead to a loss of vehicle control and increases the risk of a crash.
Inspection and potential replacement of the steering column.
