What's wrong?
The steering gear assembly on the 2024 Nissan Altima connects the steering wheel's commands to the front wheels. Its electronic power steering unit adds assist so the driver can turn the wheel with controlled effort, while the steering rack moves the wheels left or right. The bolts between the assist unit and the rack have to stay tight for that movement to remain predictable.
On the recalled Altimas, those bolts were not tightened to Nissan's specification during assembly. As the vehicle is driven, the loose joint can let the electronic power steering unit shift against the steering rack. That movement can lead to a loss of steering control or steering lock-up, which is the failure Nissan identified in NHTSA campaign 23V882.
Before the failure, the driver can notice noise or vibration from the steering system. Treat that as a warning sign and have the vehicle checked by a Nissan dealer.
