U.S. Regulator Opens Investigation Into Over 77,000 Nissan SUVs

The US auto safety regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), has launched a preliminary evaluation into 77,131 Nissan vehicles following reports of a steering tie rod issue, Utkash Shetti reported for Reuters.

The investigation focuses on the 2021 Nissan Rogue crossover models, with the NHTSA initiating the probe after receiving reports of inner tie rod failures that resulted in a loss of steering control.


The evaluation will examine the safety-related consequences, scope, frequency, and root cause of the alleged defect, according to the regulator.
