June 18, 2016 – Nissan’s luxury arm Infiniti is recalling 60,000 units of its Q50 model worldwide after discovering a software glitch in the car’s Direct Adaptive Steering system.
In certain rare circumstances, just after starting the vehicle, a software issue in the Direct Adaptive Steering system’s ECU can lead to a lack of steering responsiveness and change in turning radius.
The voluntary safety recall campaign is on 2014-2016 Infiniti Q50 vehicles equipped with the Direct Adaptive Steering program. Infiniti plans to begin notifying customers in June-July and the remedy will be carried out at no cost to the customer.
