STEERING
- The defect
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2017 Infiniti QX30 vehicles. The steering shaft bore hole for the universal joint bearing may allow excessive movement that, over time, could result in the separation of the bearing and universal joint.
- What it can cause
- A separated universal joint bearing can cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the lower steering shaft, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 30, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PG1CF.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,959 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2017, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Infiniti vehicles have been recalled over the steering 4 times before this, most recently in June 2016 as 16V430000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 33 complaints with NHTSA, 14 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in February 2017, 4 years before this filing.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Nissan North America, Inc. with NHTSA on June 2, 2021 as campaign 21V419000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
