Nissan North America is recalling its 2014 Infiniti Q50 vehicles equipped with Direct Adaptive Steering to fix a software problem, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall affects approximately 23 vehicles.
"The affected vehicles received a power steering software version that, should the engine compartment reach freezing temperatures, the power steering software may disable the electric steering system and also may delay the engagement of the mechanical steering backup system," said NHTSA regarding the issue.
The Q50 features a new steer-by-wire system, which is supposedly the only one of its kind available in a passenger car sold in the U.S.
The Q50 was created to replace the Infiniti G37, according to Nissan.
Nissan has already notified owners and arranged to have vehicles to be towed to their nearest Infiniti dealer, NHTSA said. Owners have been told not to drive their vehicles until the issue is fixed.
"The disablement of the steering systems could result in a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash," said the NHTSA.
Dealers have provided customers with loaner vehicles until their Q50 is fixed.
Owners with more questions can call Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.
