Nissan recalls 2 million vehicles worldwide
Nissan is recalling “2.14 million vehicles in the U.S., Japan, Europe and Asia, including the popular March and Mycra subcompacts, for an ignition problem that may stall the engine - its third-largest recall ever.” (Tokyo AP, 10/28).
Although, according to Nissan, no accidents caused by the defect have been reported, Nissan has decided to address the problem before unnecessary accidents occur.
A problem was found “in an ignition-system part called the relay for vehicles produced from August 2003 through July 2006, including small cars like the March, Cube and Note, and about a dozen other models, such as the Tiida sedan, Titan pickup and Infiniti QX56 luxury model.” In the most extreme cases, the engine will stall and not restart.
As a Chicago car and truck accident attorney, I always urge Nissan consumers to act quickly if their vehicles are affected. The dealer will replace the defective parts free of charge, and vehicle safety is critical.
