## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain model year 2008 Infiniti EX35 vehicles equipped with the power tilt/telescope option included in the premium package, manufactured June 29, 2007, to April 25, 2008, 2009 Infiniti FX35 and FX45 vehicles manufactured October 31, 2007, to April 16, 2008, and 2009 Nissan GT\-R vehicles manufactured March 14, 2007, to April 25, 2008. The steering column outer tube may not be round, resulting in extra stress being applied to the upper steering bearing.  This stress may cause the bearing retainer to fracture, creating extra play in the steering wheel or a possible loss of steering.


## What can happen

Extra play in the steering wheel or a loss of steering may increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering shaft on the Infiniti EX35, FX35, and FX45 vehicles, and will replace the steering column assembly on the Nissan GT\-R vehicles, free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2015. Infiniti owners may contact customer service at 1\-800\-662\-6200.  Nissan owners may contact the GT\-R hotline at 1\-866\-668\-1487.


## Notes

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.safercar.gov.
