A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- ProPilot hands-on capacitive sensor mat in the steering wheel: Nissan Qashqai J12
- Period mentioned
- 2021–2022 (built from 6/5/2021 to 27/9/2022; only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- With ProPilot engaged, the car does not warn you to put your hands back on the wheel even when you have taken them off.
- Possible cause described
- According to the UK DVSA (R/2024/021), the capacitive mat that detects hands may have been damaged when the steering wheel was made, and the wheel may wrongly detect that the driver has their hands on it.
- Check for the garage
- Always drive with your hands on the wheel even when using ProPilot. Ask a Nissan dealer, with the VIN, whether the recall is outstanding on your car. They check the steering wheel serial number and replace it 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.
