Car maker Nissan is recalling more than two million vehicles after discovering an ignition problem that may stall the engine.
The fault has been detected in more than a dozen popular models, including the March, Mycra, Cube and Note subcompacts – some of which were built in the UK and U.S. The Titan pickup, Tiida sedan and Infiniti QX56 luxury model are also affected by the glitch.
A spokesman for the motoring giant said the problem was found in an ignition-system part called the relay, used in vehicles produced from August 2003 through July 2006.
‘In extreme cases, the engine will stall and won’t be able to start,’ Mitsuru Yonekawa said.
Nissan, which is allied with Renault SA of France, did not disclose a cost for the recall – its third largest ever – but it may be relatively cheap, requiring just half an hour to repair.
No accidents have been reported as a result of the defect.
The massive numbers involved in recent recalls are linked to cost-cutting strategies that result in the same parts being used in many models.
Toyota Motor Corp., the world’s biggest automaker, has suffered a spate of recalls over the last year, totaling more than ten million vehicles worldwide for sticky gas pedals, floor mats that can trap accelerators, brake fluid leaks and other problems.
