WASHINGTON — Nissan is recalling 28,294 2011 Nissan Jukes because the vehicle could stall without warning, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"The turbocharger boost sensor bracket may separate from the air inlet tube due to a defective weld," said NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. "If the bracket comes off, the vehicle could stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash."
Nissan said it is "aware of several stalling incidents in foreign countries," in documentation filed with the federal safety agency. The automaker noted that no other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles are not affected because they do not use this air inlet tube.
The recall affects Jukes manufactured from April 9, 2010 through May 12, 2011.
Nissan dealers will check the lot number on the air inlet tube and replace it. The recall is expected to begin on January 9. Owners can contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261. LINK
