Recalls
1 vehicle recall from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Steering Vehicle recall #17V184000 · 2017 · 56,766 vehicles
What's wrong: The power steering hose clamp May not adequately secure the hose, allowing the hose to detach and leak power steering fluid.
Why it matters: If the power steering fluid leaks onto a heat source such as hot engine or exhaust components, there could be an increased risk of a fire.
The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a power steering high pressure hose kit, free of charge. The recall began May 10, 2017.
