Nissan issues two
recalls for 640,000 US vehicles.
The New York (NY) Times (1/29, Jensen,
Subscription Publication, 9.97M) reports that Nissan has issued two recalls for
almost 640,000 vehicles in the US. The Times says that the first recall is for
469,000 2008-2013 Rogues because “a mixture of snow and water and salt” could
“seep into the carpet,” which could then “reach an electrical connection,
causing a short and potentially ‘a thermal incident.’” The Times reports that
the automaker also recalled 171,000 SUVs, including the 2013-14 Nissan
Pathfinder, 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid, 2013 Infiniti JX35, and 2014 Infiniti QX60
and QX60 Hybrid because “a cable for a secondary hood latch is too short and
could prevent it from latching,” potentially allowing the hood to open while
the SUV is being driven.
Bloomberg News (1/29, 2.94M) reports that the
worldwide figures for the two recalls reached 768,000, as 552,135 Rogues were
recalled around the world along with 215,789 SUVs.
