Nissan recalls Qashqai over steering wheel

Cape Town - Nissan South Africa said it was voluntarily recalling approximately 500 of its Qashqai crossover vehicles due to a defective steering wheel.

The recall came after a steering wheel came off in the hands of a Finnish customer.

BDLive reported that the problem was related to a defective batch of steering wheels.

A Nissan spokesperson in the UK said the steering wheel got detached as the driver was parking his vehicle at a low speed.

He was reportedly driving a new Qashqai+2 that only has 500km on the clock.

The spokesperson said the company did not know which vehicles had the defective steering wheels and was recalling 51 000 Qashqais globally as a precaution.

Nissan SA said the recall only affected about 500 cars locally and the company would be in touch with customers who were directly affected.
