Nissan has joined the infamous ranks of car manufacturers that have had to recall vehicles in the UAE.
More than a thousand Nissan Patrols are being recalled for electronic problems that could affect the fuel supply and stall the engine, The National reported.
Nissan Middle East is working with the Ministry of Economy’s Department of Customer Protection, which today will launch a recall campaign for 1,250 new 4x4s, the newspaper said.
Cars affected are the 2010 model with Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) A9000112 to A90004207. The VIN number appears on the plate attached to the driver’s door and can also be found on the dashboard.
Monal Zeidan, the general manager of marketing and communications for Nissan Middle East, was quoted by The National as saying the integrated circuit inside the electronic control module (ECM) could potentially break. “It means that the fuel injector could stop working and the engine could stop.”
So far, there are 427 Patrols in Dubai on the ministry’s recall list and 823 in Abu Dhabi. Both garages also sell to customers in the Northern Emirates.
