Nissan Qashqai recall

Nissan are recalling over 14,000 X-Trail and over 33,000 Qashqai vehicles. Reason for a recall is a problem with steering system, where the front suspension lower ball joints have not been fully seated into the hub. This results in the securing bolt not fitting into the groove in the ball joint shank. Eventually ball joint detaches causing loss of vehicle control.

Vehicles being recalled are those produced between 2008-03-31 and 2009-08-26 (X-Trail) and 2008-02-18 and 2009-05-22 (Qashqai). More specifically, affected Qashqai models are with the following VIN numbers: SJNF**J10*1013272 to SJNF**J10U1022002.
