Nissan recalls 2 million vehicles worldwide

By Hurley, McKenna & Murtz

Nissan is recalling ?2.14 million vehicles in the U.S., Japan, Europe and Asia, including the popular March and Mycra subcompacts, for an ignition problem that may stall the engine - its third-largest recall ever.? (Tokyo AP, 10/28).

Although, according to Nissan, no accidents caused by the defect have been reported, Nissan has decided to address the problem before unnecessary accidents occur.
A problem was found ?in an ignition-system part called the relay for vehicles produced from August 2003 through July 2006, including small cars like the March, Cube and Note, and about a dozen other models, such as the Tiida sedan, Titan pickup and Infiniti QX56 luxury model.? In the most extreme cases, the engine will stall and not restart.

As a Chicago car and truck accident attorney, I always urge Nissan consumers to act quickly if their vehicles are affected. The dealer will replace the defective parts free of charge, and vehicle safety is critical.
