Nissan in huge car recall

It must have something to do with the steering wheel being on the wrong side. :-)

Probably the same sensors the Sentra had problems with around the same time frame. There was a recall for those as well.

Anyone know if the 1998/9 micra is covered? Or details of what sensors? I can't see it on any nissan website, however my nissan micra exhibits odd starting problems. Once a few months, when the key is turned, the ECU light will keep flashing. Attempting to start it in this state always fails, just turning the engine over. Turning it off and on again several dozen times until the light stays (on/off, I forget) without turning the engine over results in it starting fine. I'd put this down to an ECU/sensors problem, as little can be wrong with the engine that the ECU can know about (and flash lights) before the engine is turned over.

I wonder if that covers Nissan Australia, South Africa, Australia and Japan as well.

Of course, in South Africa and Australia, the cars are upside down.
