Nissan recalls 540,000 vehicles

Nissan says it will recall nearly 540,000 vehicles worldwide, most of them in the United States, due to brake pedal defects and faulty fuel gauges.

Nissan said in a statement it plans "to inspect and, if necessary, repair brake pedal pins and fuel-gauge components on certain trucks and minivans".

"No accidents or injuries have been reported with these issues," it said.

The recalls also affect Canada, Mexico, the Middle East, Ukraine, Russia and Taiwan, the statement said.

The models with faulty brake pedal pins are the Titan pickup trucks, the Armada and Infiniti QX56 SUVs and Quest minivans built between 2008 and 2010, the company said, adding that it would pull 178,916 units from the US.

The company said there were three reported cases of brake pedal pins loosening and causing problems with braking.

"Nissan has determined that a manufacturing error on the part of the supplier is at the root of this issue," it said.

NON Z related :tup:

:iagree:

Thank You God and Z engineers.

with what is happening to Toyota all companies are going to be doing recalls waaaaaay more than before so they wont suffer the same bad rep, which is good for us and the way it should be.

true story

^ also, now is the perfect timing for them to annouce a recall because it'll seem like no big deal compared to Toyota. GM just annouced one too.

yea i herd about that.

False Alarm....

Nissan will recall 540,000 vehicles
 

"Late today, Nissan Motor (NSANY), Japan's third-biggest car maker, said it will recall about 540,000 vehicles worldwide due to potential defects in brake pedal pins and fuel-gauge components, mostly in the United States. Nissan said five models from 2008 to 2010, including the Titan truck and Armada SUV, would be recalled due to the risk of the brake pedal pins partially disengaging, causing a loss of normal braking ability."


:icon14::icon14::icon14::icon14:

so, now is Nissan's turn...........hmmmmmmmmm

is Z on the recall list or soon to be?

Looks like the Z, and every other passenger car, is safe.

Funny how the government gets their hands on GM, and these import companies are going to crap. i kid i kid

wow. How soon the world forgets the "exploding Pinto" or the "flying Monza". How about the pickups manufactured by the big three with "saddle tanks" that exploded on side impact...
These vehicles were never even recalled! But they were all American too...
But heaven forbid a successful Japanese car manufacturer has a defect.... :icon14:

A handful of major automobile corporations are announcing recalls. I think after the negative attention that Toyota got, they are trying to avoid the same mistake.

GM has a major recall going on right now, as well, for Pontiac and Chevy autos.

you arent the first person ive heard mention this, I bet theres more truth behind it than we would like to admit.

Apparently you don't know how to take a joke :rolleyes:

I think you're correct. Might as well let everyone know now what is wrong than having the general public find out the hardway. Save face atleast.

You do realize what is happening.... Toyota was the pandora box, it showed us how car companies tend to no recall every single problem they encounter unless it is life threatening, or can be done little by little. EVERY company that manufactures a product does the same.

So Toyoda got caught because they didn't move quick enough to recall their vehicles, obviously they did this to not "ruin" their image and now they are condemned. Then the rest of the car companies said ****, we need to recall every single thing we know wrong on our products before we are next.

Thus why all of a sudden an influx of recalls, small or big, it doesn't matter because they don't want to end up like Toyota.

^^^ they said they would retire from F1 4 months before the recalls began. Maybe they had it coming....

poor guy, crying over there, he is going to drop salty tear on that $12k watch.

lol

So far...

to some old timer japanese, they would rather commit harakiri (suicide by disembowelment) than to lose face, and they are losing face big time with what has been happening.

Z fuel gauge recall is coming. Mine is F'd up now as is a bunch of the Z's in AUS apparently.

what kind of trouble r u having w fuel gauge?

is it not reading full?. I have had this issue twice on my G and once on the FX. Both times it was the fuel sending unit. I am getting angery that i got to keep getting this replaced. and what happens after warrenty is up?

Doubt a recall would happen. Just a TSB is most likely.

That's the first thing I noticed in that pic as well :icon18:
