Nissan North America, Inc. "Nissan" is recalling certain 2021 Versa and Kicks vehicles. An intermittent electrical connection in the electric power steering "EPS" torque sensor can disable the power steering assist.
Loss of power steering assist can increase the steering effort required, especially at low speeds, and increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the steering column torque sensor lot code and replace the steering column assembly, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 8, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PMA26. This recall involves vehicles that were previously inspected, but did not receive a steering column replacement, under recall number 22V-693. These vehicles will need to be reinspected for this recall.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
