Steering: gear box: shaft pitman
- What is wrong
- Nissan is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 rogue vehicles. A screw in the steering gear housing cover may loosen over time and could fall out. As it loosens, the steering response of the vehicle may be compromised but the driver will retain steering control.
- Risk
- The screw may eventually come out of the steering gear cover. If large steering inputs are made with the cover screw missing the pinion shaft may come out of the steering gear resulting in a complete loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect whether the steering gear cover screw is loose and will be retightened to the proper specification. Dealers will also install a cover plate to prevent the screw from possibly coming out of the steering gear. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during november 2009. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.

I was stopped at a red light and I noticed that my steering wheel jerked slightly then the ps light came on and I didn't know what had happened until I had to make a left turn. After that I drove it to the closest place to have them look at it and this operation printed me out a report called the federal safety agency campaign and told me to take it to the st. Charles nissan dealer. On my way there the ps light was off and I was able to drive it there with no issues. The employee at nissan that helped me said he was able to look at it and told me there wasn't anything wrong with the power steering. He called it a glitch. I was able to drive from the dealer back to work with no problems. After work the ps light came back on when I was on the highway. I went to my friends house to pick up my son and I stayed for a few hours. When I got back in my car the ps light was off and remained off until the next morning right when I pulled into the driveway at work. It has remained on since then and has not turned off. The campaign states that it's for nissan rogue's 2008-2009 vehicles but when the dealer put in my VIN it did not show up for my model, however the models that it does show up for is the same vehicle as mine with the same power steering issue. I would like nissan to take full responsibility for covering all parts and labor to repair my vehicle.
