If you live in South Florida and drive a Nissan car, pickup truck or SUV, your vehicle might be headed for repairs just in time for the December holidays. Nissan has announced a global recall of 2.14 million vehicles due to an electrical problem that could cause the engine to stall.
Engine stall can lead to motor vehicle accidents.
U.S. vehicles being recalled include Nissan Armadas; popular pickup trucks the Nissan Titans and Frontiers; Nissan SUVs Pathfinders and Xterras; as well as Infiniti QX56s. All were manufactured in the 2000s. See the Nissan Recalls links below for manufacturer years of the affected vehicles and recall campaign numbers, as well as a recall lookup tool. Some models are also having problems with their GPS systems. And the compact boxy Nissan Cube had a recall this past summer for gas storage issues.
A West Palm Beach car accident lawyer has knowledge regarding manufacturer liability if a crash with injury or death occurs due to faulty automotive products or design. This past year has seen a number of massive motor vehicle safety recalls, notably from Toyota -- which included recent recalls of the popular Corolla and Matrix for engine stalling issues.
Defective tire recalls is another area of consumer safety that makes news headlines in Florida and around the U.S. Consumers in South Florida and elsewhere should always register their products with the store, dealership, and/or manufacturer where they purchased the auto or tires to ensure they receive recall notices when a potential safety problem is detected.
The recent Nissan recalls are expected to commence in December.
