Nissan recalls 236,000+ Sentra compact cars (2020-2022 models) in the U.S. due to potential tie rod vulnerabilities affecting steering control. Owners are advised to contact dealers for inspections and replacements.
The concern stems from the susceptibility of the tie rods in the front suspension to bend and break, which could lead to a loss of steering control while driving. Tie rods are crucial in maneuvering the vehicle's wheels for steering purposes.
In documentation submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Nissan explained that a bent tie rod has the potential to snap, thereby adversely affecting the steering mechanism and significantly increasing the risk of a crash. As a safety precaution, affected vehicle owners are advised to contact their local dealerships if they notice an off-center steering wheel or experience any vibrations while driving.
Authorized dealerships will initially conduct inspections to identify and replace faulty or broken tie rods. Once an updated design is made available, dealerships will replace the left and right tie rods entirely, with no cost incurred by vehicle owners.
According to the company, notification letters will be sent to affected owners starting October 5th. Subsequent communication will be issued once the replacement parts are ready for installation.
It is worth noting that the current recall is not the first instance of such concerns with the affected Nissan vehicles. Similar problems were addressed in a previous recall conducted in 2021. Therefore, vehicles that underwent repairs during the previous recall must also receive the new tie rods once made available.
Nissan places a high priority on the safety and satisfaction of its customers. With this latest recall, the company aims to rectify any potential issues, ensuring their small cars promptly' continued safety and reliable performance.
In light of this development, Nissan owners are urged to stay informed and act accordingly to mitigate any risks associated with the front suspension tie rods.
