Nissan has issued a recall in the US affecting more than 236,000 small cars owing to a potential issue with the tie rods in the front suspension. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in its recall document has stated that the potential issue could result in the bending and breaking of the tie rods, possibly leading to a loss of steering control. The tie rods play a crucial role in enabling the steering of the vehicle.

The latest recall impacts specific Nissan Sentra compact cars that were produced between 2020 and 2022, revealed the NHTSA document. Nissan claims to have identified that when the tie rods of these vehicles become bent, there is a possibility of them breaking. This can adversely impact the vehicle's steering system, consequently elevating the risk of a potential accident.
