We would like to inform you that Nissan has notified NNZ of a Recall Campaign on Nissan K12 (March model), Z11/GZ11 (Cube model), E11 (Note model), C11 (Tiida model), SC11 (Tiida Latio model), G11 (Sylphy model), B30 (Lafesta model), C25 (Serena model) and RY12 (Wingroad model) produced in Japan (NML and NS). The same field action on a limited number of Nissan D40 (Navara model) and R51 (Pathfinder model) produced in Spain.

For NNZ sold new vehicles only K12, C11, Y12 and a small number D40/R51 models are effected.

Incident Vehicles models effected were produced from October 2003 to July 2006

Outline:

A concern affecting the intelligent power distribution module (IPDM) ECM relay has been identified.There is a possibility that the ignition relay contacts in the relay may become contaminated with a build up of silicon oxide due to silicon evaporating from the relay diode. This can lead to poor conduction at the relay contacts. In an extreme case, the resulting poor contact can potentially result in engine stall and failure to restart.

Recommended Action:

Owners of affected vehicles will be advised to contact a Nissan Dealer to arrange for an inspection & rectification of their vehicle. This rectification will consist of the replacement of the IPDM ECU relay with a countermeasure part.

NNZ will be writing to all NZ new vehicle owners.

Owners with incident used Imported Japanese vehicles first registered in NZ prior to 1 May 2011 may have the
relay(s) replaced FOC.
