Nissan North America is recalling 1,063 of its 2023 Ariya electric vehicles because the steering wheel bolt may have been tightened incorrectly or not installed at all. If the bolt is loose or missing, the steering wheel can completely detach from the steering column while the vehicle is in motion. Nissan began notifying affected owners by phone in early March 2023 and is following up with formal notification letters. Dealers will replace the steering wheel bolt free of charge to ensure the steering wheel is securely attached.
A steering wheel that becomes loose or detaches while driving causes an immediate loss of steering control. This defect significantly increases the risk of a crash, though no specific injuries or incidents were detailed in the report.
