Every road vehicle recall DVSA lists for the Nissan Qashqai since 1992: what the problem is, how it is put right, how many vehicles it covers and when they were built. Newest first.
Not every Nissan Qashqai is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with
particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use
GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask
the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Potential loss of steering
Launched 23 June 2008DVSA recall R/2008/061
Defect
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a needle bearing has been omitted from the steering shaft. Additionally the cover screw may not have been tightened to the correct torque.

Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the steering gear inspected. The steering gear will be replaced should this be found to be necessary.
It has been identified that the front suspension lower ball joints on some of the subject vehicles have not been fully seated into the hub. This has resulted in the securing bolt not fitting into the groove in the ball joint shank. If the situation goes uncorrected the ball joint could detach which could result in loss of vehicle control.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will be checked for correct location of the ball joint and rectified as necessary.
Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Nissan Qashqai. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
