Nissan Motor Co. will recall about 841,000 vehicles worldwide, including UK-built Micra subcompacts, as a result of a steering wheel glitch that could result in a loss of steering, the automaker said.

Nissan is recalling certain models of the Micra car produced in the UK and Japan between 2002 and 2006, as well as the Cube minicar that was  produced in Japan around the same period.
