Nissan Micra is one of least entertained small cars in the hatchback segment and Nissan
would have never expected this. To make the project more profitable the
company started exporting Micra to other markets but lately the same
has attracted attention for the wrong reason.
The Japanese major has recalled 249,522 cars globally including 7
models of which 9,600 units are of India made Micras. The company has
recalled diesel engine
models only as the fault lies in the fuel rail of these direct
injection units and the faulty sensor. The problem, which could rise in
extreme cases, is of fuel leakage through the rail which the company is
addressing to via the recall.
One of the Nissan Motors spokesperson said,
“This global recall includes about 9,600 units of India-built
Micras that were sold in Europe. There are no issues in other units. The
recall programme won’t have any impact on Micras sold in India as the
specifications are totally different for export markets.”
In the year 2010, Nissan recalled Micra for the first time for a
minor technical issue related to noise arising at the time of starting
the engine in extreme cold weather. This is the second time Micra has
been recalled but this is to keep in mind that it is for the betterment
of the brand. As of last month, the company has exported 136,000 units
of Micra to international markets like Africa, Europe, and West Asia.
The major changes which are done in new Nissan Micra Active are new headlamps, a revised honeycomb front grille which now features a V-shaped trough surrounding the Nissan logo.
