2010 has seen an extraordinary number of auto recalls, due to manufacturing issues that have affected multiple vehicles of several major car companies. The latest manufacturer to be affected is Nissan, which has issued a global Nissan recall of 540,000 vehicles. This was due to potential defects in brake pedal pins and fuel gauge components, and will mostly affect Nissan owners who live in the United States.
Affected Nissan Models
Models with brake issues that are included in the 2010 Nissan Recall include the Titan, Armada, Quest, and Infinity QX56 from the years 2008 to 2010.
Models with fuel gauge issues include the Titan, Armada, Quest, and Infinity QX56 manufactured between 2005 and 2008, as well as Frontiers, Pathfinders, and Xterras manufactured between January and March 2006 and between October 2007 and January 2008.
The brake issue is caused by a pin in the pedal that may become dislodged, causing an inability to brake.
The fuel gauge problem occurs when the gauge indicates an adequate supply of gas, when in reality there is nothing left in the tank.
What to do if your car is affected by the Nissan recall
If your car is affected by the Nissan recall, you should receive a notice in the mail with instructions on what to do. Fixing the brake pin will involve a 10 minute inspection to see if you have a problem, and if so, it will take an additional 30 minutes (approximately) to fix.
If your vehicle is being recalled due to a faulty fuel gauge, Nissan recommends that you keep your gas tank filled until the issue can be repaired.
What to do if you are in a Massachusetts car accident involving a recalled Nissan vehicle
If you are in a Massachusetts car accident involving a recalled Nissan, you'll want to seek the expertise of a Massachusetts personal injury attorney. Gather whatever evidence you can at the scene of the accident. A good car accident attorney will investigate your case, and work with you to file a claim for any injuries and accident-related expenses you incurred.
