NISSAN ISSUES VOLUNTARY RECALLS ON SELECTED VEHICLES

FRANKLIN, Tenn. - Nissan North America (NNA) today announced recalls 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. "At Nissan, we're committed to the safety and satisfaction of our customers. We regret any inconveniences that our customers may experience as we take these precautions," said Kevin Martin, vice president of Total Customer Satisfaction for NNA. These recall campaigns involve a total of 539,864 vehicles, a majority of which are in the United States.

REASON FOR THE RECALLS

There have been three reported instances of brake pedal pins partially disengaging, causing a loss of normal braking ability, and Nissan has determined that a manufacturing error on the part of the supplier is at the root of this issue. All vehicles currently on sale are free of this problem. Unrelated to the brake-pin issue, vehicles at higher mileage levels may have fuel gauges which incorrectly indicate the amount of fuel in the tank. This may result in the vehicle running out of fuel while the gauge reads greater than empty. All vehicles currently on sale are free of this problem.
