Nissan recall affects more than 2 million cars
November 3rd, 2010
Nissan has announced a worldwide recall is needed to fix a problem with the engine control system in more than 12 of their model ranges.
The Japanese manufacturers have said that the problem may cause the engine to stall whilst running, quite the problem I’m sure you’ll agree. However, they insist that this problem hasn’t been the cause of any accidents.
Nissan’s affected models include the Micra/March, Cube, Note, Tilda and Titan, as well as the Infiniti QX56 luxury SUV.
The majority of cars affected are in Japan (834,759 vehicles) and North America and Canada (762,000 vehicles) but there will also be substantial recalls in Europe (354,170 cars) and China and Taiwan (194,409). Those that are being recalled have been manufactured all over the world between August 2003 and July 2006, so it is not a specific defect in just one plant.
The fix needed is expected to take no longer than 25 minutes, though Nissan will be carrying out the service free of charge on certain models. Read the rest of this entry »
