- Replies 1
Vehicle recalls are never ideal, especially when they involve potential safety hazards.
A recent issue with a popular model has prompted an urgent recall, with concerns that a seemingly minor fault could lead to serious consequences.
Here’s what owners need to know.
Nissan issued a recall for petrol-powered versions of the current-generation Qashqai due to a defect that could pose a fire risk.
The company stated in its recall notice that ‘due to a manufacturing defect, the wiring harness near the 12-volt battery may have been incorrectly assembled.’
It explained that ‘as a result, the harness retaining nut can become loose and increase electrical resistance which may lead to a vehicle fire.’
According to Nissan, ‘a vehicle fire could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, bystanders and/or damage to property.’
The recall affects 11,107 vehicles built between 2022 and 2024.
Owners of affected vehicles have been advised to book an appointment with a Nissan dealership.
The wiring harness connections will be inspected and tightened to the correct specifications at no cost.
