Nissan is recalling more than 236,000 small cars in the U.S. because the tie rods in the front suspension can bend and break, possibly causing drivers to lose steering control.The recall covers certain Sentra compact cars from the 2020 through 2022 model years.

At first, dealers will inspect and replace any bent or broken tie rods. Once a new design is available, they will replace both the left and right tie rods at no cost to owners.Letters notifying owners will be mailed starting Oct. 5. A second letter will go out once parts are available.Many of the same vehicles were recalled in 2021 to fix the same problem, the documents say. Cars repaired u...
