Nissan Ariya EVs recalled to secure steering wheels that could come off
, this is a pretty basic and serious flaw, and fortunately Nissan reports that it became aware of the issue before cars with loose wheels ended up in the hands of customers.
That's the good news. The bad news is that Nissan has its internal processes to blame for this problem, which was introduced by Nissan techs who were addressing a separate quality issue on Ariyas that were awaiting shipping from Nissan's port facilities. The fix involved replacing steering wheels on already-assembled cars, and Nissan says its technicians likely made one of two critical errors.
"As part of the activity, a technician may have inadvertently applied the incorrect torque settings to the steering wheel bolt. In certain cases, the steering wheel bolt may not have been installed," Nissan's defect report to said."As a result, the steering wheel may experience some play or potentially separate from the steering column if pulled towards the driver. If this occurs, loss of steering control may increase the risk of a crash.", when two incidents of loose wheels prompted the company to order an inspection of all examples that had undergone the same procedure. Only one more vehicle with a loose wheel was found.
