Nissan evokes 2 million cars

Nissan said on Thursday that 2.14 million of its cars would be recalled due to a defective ignition which could cause the engine to stall and not start. March/Micra, Cube and a dozen other models are comprised in this recall which is the 3rd biggest for Nissan.

There are no accidents reported due to this imperfection. Though, in the worst case scenario, the engine will stall and won’t be able to start which might cause accidents on the road.

The recalls are typically in Japan, United States and Canada with 835,000 and 762,000 units correspondingly (US and Canada numbers combined). The affected vehicles were built among August 2003 and July 2006.

As big as the recall is, the fix for the fault is reported to be comparatively cheap. It is estimated that the repair will get less than an hour to realize. The surprisingly huge number of vehicles concerned in the recall is due to cost-cutting strategies wherein the same parts of a vehicle are used in various models.

Last week, Toyota also recalled 1.66 million vehicles worldwide for faults in the break master cylinder and fuel pump wiring.
