Nissan North America, Inc.: 2021 Versa and Kicks Recalled for Power Steering Failure

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Nissan is recalling 11,824 of its 2021 Versa and 2021 Kicks vehicles because the electric power steering may fail unexpectedly. A faulty connection in the steering torque sensor can disable the power steering assist while driving. Dealers will inspect the steering column and replace the assembly if necessary at no cost to the owner. This recall includes vehicles that were previously inspected under an earlier recall (22V-693) but did not have the part replaced; those vehicles must be reinspected.

Risk

A sudden loss of power steering assist can make the steering wheel much harder to turn, particularly at low speeds. This unexpected increase in steering effort can make the vehicle difficult to control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you own a 2021 Nissan Versa or a 2021 Nissan Kicks. This recall specifically targets vehicles that may have been previously inspected under recall 22V-693 but did not receive a new steering column.
  2. Contact any authorized Nissan dealer to schedule a free inspection of your steering column torque sensor lot code.
  3. If the dealer determines your vehicle's torque sensor is part of the affected lot, they will replace the entire steering column assembly free of charge.
  4. For more information or to check your vehicle's status, contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 and reference recall number PMA26.
  5. For additional assistance, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
