Nissan's latest recall will affect 841,000 vehicles worldwide. Part of the recall are the Micra hatchback and Cube. The reason for recall is a faulty steering wheels that could stop functioning at the worst. Nissan recently recalled 22,188 Sunny and Micra models over a faulty master brake cylinder. The latest recall is not a part of the previous.

Micra compact hatchback units built in the UK and Japan between 2002 and 2006 and Cube hatchbacks also built during the same period in Japan fall under this recall. The problem is a steering wheel bolt that may not have been tightened properly.

Countries affected by this recall include Japan, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. India does not fall into it since the Micra had not yet been introduced then.

Nissan will fix the problem by either tightening the bolt or by replacing the steering wheel. The automaker said no accidents has occurred due to the loose bolt. Nissan spokesperson has said to repair each vehicle would take 40 minutes and will be done free of cost.
