Nissan Qashqai recalled in UAE

Nissan Middle East is recalling its Qashqai’s 2011 models due to technical fault in its power steering.

According to an advertisement appeared in the local newspapers, Nissan said it had identified a potential out of specification casting dimension on the heat sink of the electric power steering control unit.

“As a result of dimensional issue, with continued use, in the extreme case, the EPS motor may no longer function. Should this issue occur, then the power steering warning lamp will illuminate and whilst there is no effect on manual steering control of the vehicle, the driver will experience a sudden loss of power steering assistance,” the advertisement said.

The vehicle with 10th digit “B” have been recalled by Nissan Middle East and its distributor Arabian Automobiles.

A source said that 58 Qashqai vehicles have been recalled due to the power steering poblem.
