NISSAN announced a problem with the Qashqai & Xtrail affecting a total of 58,342 vehicles.
The cover screw securing the pinion shaft may loosen causing noise during steering operation. Continued use in this condition could result in the screw coming out of the gear housing and, in certain circumstances, cause a loss of steering control. Vehicles built from 11/4/2006 to 6/4/2009 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall the potentially affected vehicles to fit a locking plate to the cover screw that secures the pinion shaft.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest NISSAN dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
