Nissan Ariya Recalls

The Nissan Ariya has 8 recalls, all covering the 2023 model year, with the most serious being a steering wheel attachment defect where the mounting bolt may be loose or missing entirely, allowing the steering wheel to detach from the column and leave the driver with no steering control.

The remaining recalls all affect 2023 models and center on unexpected loss of drive power. Three separate issues can cause the vehicle to drop into a fail-safe mode and cut power to the wheels without warning: damaged O-ring seals inside the front electric traction motor can allow oil to leak internally, inverter software can misread an electrical fault or detect a false short circuit and shut the drive system down, and a momentary over-current in the drive motor can trigger the same fail-safe response. In each case, the vehicle loses propulsion while in motion, which can make it difficult to maintain speed or position in traffic.
