VEHICLE LOST CONTROL EXITING A RIGHT HAND CURVE OF A COUNTY ROAD. THE VEHICLES SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY 55-65 MPH. A POST-CRASH MECHANICAL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETED. THE INSPECTION REVEALED THE SPLINES ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING SHAFT HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THIS DAMAGE WAS CONSISTENT IN APPEARANCE WITH THE WHEEL BEING PLACED ON THE SHAFT AND PRESSED VIA THE STEERING WHEEL NUT WHEN THE SPLINES WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE STEERING WHEEL NUT WAS ABLE TO BE SPUN WITH ONE FINGER DURING THE INSPECTION. BOTH FINDINGS WERE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE EXPECTED CRASH DAMAGE GIVEN THE CRASH SEQUENCE. AN AIRBAG RECALL HAD BEEN FULFILLED ON THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2019 IN WHICH THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REMOVED. THE RECALL WAS FULFILLED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN GREELEY, CO.*DT*DT *JS *JS*DT*JB*DT*DT*AS*DT*TR*DT THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS. *TR*DT*JB*TR
