What's wrong?
The steering column on the 2014 Nissan Rogue carries your input from the steering wheel down toward the steering gear. One link in that path is the intermediate shaft, a short shaft that joins the upper steering assembly to the lower steering components. A bolt at that joint is supposed to clamp the connection securely so the shaft moves with the steering wheel.
On affected Rogues, the wrong bolt was used at the joint between the intermediate shaft and the upper steering assembly. A bolt with the wrong size or fit does not hold that connection the way the steering system was designed to hold it. That leaves a critical steering joint dependent on hardware that does not match the assembly.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the NHTSA filing does not list a driver-noticeable symptom, do not wait for the steering to feel different before confirming whether your VIN is included.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the bolt that connects the intermediate shaft to the upper steering assembly. If the wrong bolt is installed, the dealer repairs the steering connection under the recall. Nissan began this recall repair on June 2, 2014, and the inspection and repair are free of charge. Ask the Nissan service desk to confirm the repair for your VIN before arranging the visit.
