Nissan Recalls 2008 - 2009 Rogue for Dangerous Steering Issue

Nissan is recalling more than 160,000 of its 2008 and 2009 Rogue CUVs because a screw may come loose in the steering gear housing. A loose screw will result in compromised steering response, but the driver will still have steering control. If the screw falls out entirely and the driver steers hard, the pinion shaft may come out of the steering gear and the driver would lose all steering control.

This recall is expected to begin in November. Nissan dealers will tighten the screw if it is loose and install a cover plate to prevent future loosening, free of charge. Owners can contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261, the NHTSA Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236, or go to Safercar.gov. The NHTSA recall I.D. number is 09V411000.
