Nissan Pathfinder Recall

April 25, 2011, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Nissan will recall 271,000 Pathfinder and Infiniti QX4 SUVs in the United States after concerns about a steering problem. The recall includes the 1997 to 2001 Infiniti QX4 and the 1996 to 2004 Pathfinder.

This Pathfinder recall comes after reports of problems with the steering column, which was discovered to crack after exposure to road salt that is ubiquitous in cold climate states. A hole in Pathfinder's steering column allows the corrosive sea salt and snow to build up in the column which can cause it to crack.
