Yahoo Autos Over 236,000 Nissan Sentra sedans recalled due to steering issue
Nissan has issued a safety recall that applies to more than 236,000 units of the Sentra built between the 2020 and 2022 model years. The sedans included in the campaign are fitted with tie rods that can bend under certain circumstances and cause steering-related problems.
Assigned number 23V-581 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall includes 236,238 examples of the Sentra built from November 25, 2019, to March 31st, 2022. Nissan notes that the problem is present in 100% of the recalled cars, but it adds that none of the other models in its line-up are affected. The recalled cars were built with tie rods whose strength "may be insufficient under certain operating conditions," according to the Japanese company. If you need a refresher course, the tie rod is a long, thin part that connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle. Without tie rods, your front wheels wouldn't move when you turn the steering wheel.
