Nissan cars recalled: Ignition problem? Do this. - Christian Science Monitor
A 2005 Nissan Frontier 4x4, pictured in Boston, is part of the latest Nissan recall in 2010. Some 760,000 trucks and SUVs sold in North America have a relay in the ignition system that can make it difficult to start, cause rough idling, or in rare... If you own one of these vehicles, here's what Nissan suggests you do. If the car starts normally and there are no unusual problems, like a rough idling, wait for the company to send you an official recall letter so you can schedule an appointment... Nissan technicians can replace the part in less than 30 minutes. Those recall letters will go out in early December, which will give the company time to distribute parts and tools to replace the relay, says Colin Price , manager for technology communications at Nissan North America in Franklin, Tenn. But if you own a recalled vehicle and it's taking a long time to start or has a rough idle, get it serviced now, Mr. Price says. The recall is unlikely to expand because in 2006, Nissan replaced the modules for an unrelated issue. Nissan has received 13 reports of the problem in the United States. "Most of the time, the idle gets rough or it takes a long time to start," Price says. Source: www.csmonitor.com
