NHTSA Investigating Nissan Once Again
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has initiated a preliminary evaluation into 77,131 Nissan vehicles due to concerns with the steering tie rod.
The investigation targets the 2021 Nissan Rogue crossover models following reports of inner tie rod failures that could result in a loss of steering control.
The evaluation aims to determine the safety-related consequences, scope, frequency, and root cause of the alleged defect. This follows a similar investigation opened in June into approximately 75,000 Nissan 2015 Rogue Select vehicles, which was prompted by reports of unintended side airbag deployments.
The NHTSA's current investigation will focus on assessing the potential risks and determining the extent of the issue to ensure the safety of the affected vehicles.
