Dubai: A number of Nissan car owners in the UAE might be affected by the worldwide recall of vehicles due to some issue with power steering hoses, a source told Gulf News on Monday.
A spokesperson for Nissan Middle East confirmed that the car maker is recalling certain vehicles that were produced in Japan, China and Russia. Affected units are 2013-2014 Murano vehicles.
There are “potentially 1,000 cars that might” be included in the recall in the UAE, the company said.
“Nissan is recalling certain 2013-2014 Murano vehicles produced in Japan, China and Russia to replace the power steering high-pressure hose with a new one,” the company told Gulf News.
A report from AP earlier said that Nissan is recalling more than 56,000 cars because of power steering hoses that may leak fluid and potentially result in fires.
“Nissan is committed to the safety and security of our customers and their passengers,” the company said in a statement.
“Owners of potentially affected vehicles will be notified beginning in March 2017 and asked to bring their vehicle to an authorised Nissan dealer to have the remedy work completed at no cost for the customer.”
