2011 NISSAN ROGUE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nissan is recalling certain 2011 Rogue vehicles manufactured between August 17, 2010, and October 30, 2010, due to a defect in the electric power steering assist system. The circuit board in the EPS control unit may not have been installed in the correct position, causing stress on the solder that connects the terminal to the circuit board. This can lead to the solder cracking and separating completely, causing the power steering assist to stop functioning and requiring increased force to steer the vehicle.
When the power steering assist fails, drivers will need to exert significantly more effort to steer, which increases the risk of a crash. Nissan will notify affected owners, and dealers will replace the EPS control unit at no cost if necessary. According to the record, owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 to receive notification and schedule service with their dealer.
