Steering

Nov 23, 2011 · NHTSA campaign 11V565000 · 7,365 vehicles

Problem: Nissan is recalling certain model year 2011 rogue vehicles manufactured from August 17, 2010, through October 30, 2010. The circuit board May not have been installed in the correct position on certain electric power steering (EPS) assist control units. This May cause additional stress on the solder of the terminal to the circuit board resulting in the solder cracking and separating completely from the circuit board.

Original NHTSA wording

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 ROGUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 17, 2010, THROUGH OCTOBER 30, 2010. THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT POSITION ON CERTAIN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST CONTROL UNITS. THIS MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE SOLDER OF THE TERMINAL TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD RESULTING IN THE SOLDER CRACKING AND SEPARATING COMPLETELY FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD.

Risk: As the circuit board fails, the power steering assist feature will stop functioning, increasing the force needed to steer the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

Original NHTSA wording

AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILS, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FEATURE WILL STOP FUNCTIONING, INCREASING THE FORCE NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy & notes
