| Japanese carmaker Nissan recalls 22,188 Micra, Sunny cars in India for braking system | | | New Delhi: Japanese carmaker Nissan has announced to recall as many as 22,188 Micra, Sunny cars in India for some braking system issues.
Japanese carmaker that has gone on to make remarkable inroads in the Indian car bazaar by launching rather affordable hatchback and entry level sedans is recalling as many as 22,000 Micra hatchback and entry level sedan Sunny in India. This was the only carmaker from Japan with the exception of Indianized Maruti Suzuki that had remained unaffected by recall issue like other Japanese car manufacturers including Honda and Toyota.
Both of these car makers have recalled millions of cars in the last few years on one malfunctioning car part or the other. But this recall has not affected their sales across the world and instead both have benefited from it as their customers believe that the two carmakers are really trustworthy as they recalled their cars and changed car parts despite the fact that there was no pressure to do so from anyone.
Nissan is recalling as many as 22,188 units of its Micra and Nissan cars due to the fact that it believes that there is some problem in braking system of the two cars.
But to be true, not all the cars are being recalled. The company is recalling only those cars that have been manufactured between June 2012 and March 2013.
While talking to the media, a top company official said, “Nissan is conducting a voluntary recall campaign on approximately 67,089 Micra and Sunny vehicles in Africa, Asia, Europe, India (22,188), Latin America and Caribbean, and Middle East markets to replace the master brake cylinder”.
The recall is going to be a huge exercise and a company official said, “Nissan plans to begin notifying customers soon. Nissan retailers will replace the master brake cylinder at no cost to the customer. Nissan is committed to a high level of customer safety, service and satisfaction and is working with its dealers to promptly address this issue”.
While detailing the issue confronting the two cars, another company official said, “When operating the braking system under light braking force, the customer may experience longer brake pedal travel.
In extreme cases, reduced braking performance may occur and as a result the braking distances required to stop the vehicle will increase”. |
