NEW DELHI: Japanese carmaker Nissan is calling back over 22,000 units of small car Micra and Sunny sedan in India due to faulty braking system. The recall happens as part of a global exercise that the company has undertaken to rectify the problem.
Vehicles produced between June 2012 and March 2013 will be called back to the workshop by the company's wholly-owned subsidiary Nissan Motor India.
"Nissan is conducting a voluntary recall campaign on approximately 67,089 Micra and Sunny vehicles in Africa, Asia, Europe, India, Latin America and Caribbean, and Middle East markets to replace the master brake cylinder," a Nissan Motor India spokesperson said. Of these, a little over 22,188 units in India.
The spokesperson, however, added that the company has not received any complaint in India due to the faulty part.
"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."
Elaborating on the problem, the 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."
