Upon landing; nose wheel steering disengaged during final portion of landing rollout. In this aircraft the nose wheel free casters when that occurs. We had rolled out to the far end of the landing runway and were making the 90 degree left turn to taxi to the FBO. Very low speed when the nose wheel kicked off. When it did so; the airplane began to yaw to approximately 60 degrees right instead of making the ATC agreed upon left turn. While regaining control of the aircraft; [the] following aircraft executed go-around instead of landing. We failed to advise ATC until we had regained directional control of the plane (about 15 seconds). Upon clearing the runway we resumed normal operation.I would have told ATC or had the PNF (Pilot not Flying) do so while I regain control of the airplane. Something simple like; 'Aircraft X stuck on the runway.' I do not perceive that doing so would have resulted in any action other than the balked landing by the following plane.
During landing rollout the nose wheel steering turned off. We came to stop on the runway. We were able to reset the steering and clear the runway; but not before causing an airliner to go-around.I had already switched to Ground Control. It would have been better to be on the Tower frequency to let them know what was happening.
Learjet 70 flight crew reported a malfunction with nose wheel steering during landing rollout resulting in the aircraft landing behind them having to execute a go-around.
