Nissan Motor Co., is recalling approximately 2.2 million light trucks and cars globally
Nishi-ku,Yokohama,Japón -Bloomberg/Transport Topics (USA) -1 Nov 2010: -- Nissan Motor Co., is recalling approximately 2.2 million light trucks and cars globally to fix an ignition defect that can cause an engine to stall... In the U.S. and Canada, the recall covers about 770,000 2004 - 2006 model-year Titan pickups and Armada sport utility vehicles, and 2005 - 2006 model-year Frontier pickups and Pathfinder and Xterra SUVs... Nissan said the vehicles are being recalled due to an electrical relay in their electric control modules that may experience “silicon vapor,” which the company said “can create oxidation on the electrical contacts in the relay that may lead to engine performance issues, including the possibility of stalling at low engine speeds" ... Nissan will replace the relays free of charge beginning in December... (Photo from wikipedia.org: Nissan-Pathfinder)
* Japan - Toyota recalls 135,000 cars over steering fault
Toyota,Aichi,Japón -Sky News Online (UK), by Lulu Sinclair -November 4, 2010: -- Toyota is recalling almost 136,000 compact cars in Japan and Europe to fix a steering problem... Toyota has had a bad year, with multiple recalls dimming its reputation... The world's largest car maker said it would recall 65,000 iQ and Passo cars in Japan and about 70,800 in Europe, all of them built between 2008 and 2010... The recall includes all 12,500 iQ models in the UK, although the problem has only been identified in Japan... The decision was made after it was found that power steering sensors could cause a problem when driving over bumps, making steering heavier, a spokesman said... He added that there had been no reports of accidents in connection with the issue... Toyota last month announced a global safety recall of about 1.5 million vehicles to fix a brake fluid leak that, it warned, could gradually diminish braking performance... Toyota in October said it had completed more than five million repairs on US vehicles affected by the series of recalls... (Photo: The IQ compact car made by Toyota)
* USA - Recall Issued For 2011 Mercedes-Benz E, GL, M, and R Classes
Washington,DC,USA -The Car Connection -November 5, 2010: -- Mercedes-Benz has issued a recall for E, GL, M, and R Class vehicles from the 2011 model year. According to a bulletin from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, the fuel filter O-ring on those models may have been improperly lubricated, which could cause some unpleasant leakage. The NHTSA bulletin explains it's interesting for a couple of reasons. First, there's no mention of the recall affecting only diesel engines elsewhere in the notice. (A Mercedes-Benz customer care representative has confirmed that the recall applies to all models.) And second, the danger posed by the flaw seems to affect other drivers rather than the owners of the Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Since all of the affected vehicles come from the 2011 model year, this recall isn't especially big -- just under 2,300 units at the moment. Mercedes-Benz says that dealers will replace the fuel filters free of charge. (Picture from thecarconnection: 2011 Mercedes-Benz E class cabriolet)Labels: trucks' recalls
