A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Steering column and its safety clip: Nissan Leaf (ZE0)
- Period mentioned

- Symptoms
- Over time the column can work loose and disconnect, and steering is lost.
- Possible cause described
- According to the UK DVSA (R/2014/171) and the ADAC, a safety clip on the steering column may have been dislodged during assembly; the column may not be correctly assembled and, over time and under certain conditions, may work loose and disconnect. The ADAC says the check takes about 30 minutes and is free.
- Check for the garage
- If you notice play in the steering wheel or knocks in the column, do not drive on. Ask a Nissan dealer, with the VIN, whether the recall is outstanding on your car. They inspect the column and replace the shaft if needed.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
