how can I fix my EPS on Nissan Micra 2006?

My PS light on my 2006 Nissan Micra came on and the electronic power steering does not work. This looks like a common problem on the Micra's. Can I fix it myself or is their a way to reset the EPS fault codes without a computer. Also do you know if their is any recalls from Global Nissan on this. It looks like a huge problem wordwide on the Micra's since the start. I found hundreds of complaints about the EPS problem on the internet, surely this must be a safety issue and Nissan should assist us. Some vehicles showed this problem from new and some like mine only now. I am in South Africa and found that their is a lot of Nissan Micra owners with the same problem.
