A flaw causing steering columns to rust and increase the probability for them to break and cause a crash while the vehicle is in motion, Nissan is recalling 195,000 Pathfinder SUVs in 20 states. The recall is limited to cold weather states because the problem seems centralized to states that use large amounts of salt for keeping roads clear in the winter.
From The Detroit News.com
“… the recall of 162,658 1996-2004 Pathfinder and 33,333 1997-2003 Infiniti QX4 vehicles includes those sold or currently registered in 20 states that use heavy amounts of road salt could face steering problems because of corrosion issues.”
The recall was ultimately prompted by a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation started in January of this year. Recall notices will be sent out on May 16th, but if you feel you have immediate concerns with your vehicle, Nissan recommends seeing a dealership before receiving the recall slip.
