A man walks out from an entrance of Nissan Motor Co's headquarters in Yokohama, south of Tokyo May 12, 2014. Nissan is recalling some 2014 Nissan Rogue crossovers because of a steering problem.

Nissan is recalling certain 2014 Nissan Rogue crossovers due to a problem with the steering column. On some vehicles during the manufacturing process, the incorrect bolt was installed on the upper portion of the steering column.

The bolt in question tightens the clamp on the steering shaft, which connects to the steering wheel. The wrong bolt has a flange instead of a lock washer and therefore will not tighten the steering column clamp securely. Should it come loose, steering could be compromised.

The fix

Dealers will inspect to see if the vehicle has the correct bolt, and if not, replace it with the correct one and torque it properly. This service will be performed at no charge to owners for parts or labor.

Nissan is managing this recall via VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). The best way to determine if a particular vehicle is involved in this action is to call local dealers with the vehicle's VIN. Dealers will search the Nissan database to see if the vehicle is included in this recall. The repair takes approximately 15 minutes to perform.

For more information or answers to questions, call Nissan Customer Service at 800-647-726, and reference bulletin Number: 14-035 entitled: Recall PC277 - Upper Steering Column Bolt Replacement. Make sure to have the vehicle's VIN available if asked for it.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
