Ja, even in with vehicles with steer-by-wire, like Nissans, systems there's a fail-safe clutch in its column. In *normal driving situations, this clutch is disengaged, but if one of the three control modules detects a fault, the clutch snaps shut and the steering acts as a conventional, electrically assisted rack-and-pinion system. The clutch also engages when the engine shuts off, so if a SBW-equipped car fails to start, the driver can still steer the car while pushing it.
I also posted the G12 Chassis and Suspension PDF. Not much more info but a good reference since it details other systems that shared with G05 and G07.
