Nissan recalls over 2 million vehicles
Japanese car company Nissan is recalling over two million vehicles of nine different models worldwide, due to a faulty engine control system.
The faulty models include the Cube, March and Tida. The cars were produced in Japan, the United States and four other countries between 2003 and 2006.
Nissan said there had been no accidents reported due to the fault, which can cause the engine to stall while running.
In Europe, 354,170 are being recalled. However, the majority affected are in Japan itself and North America, where a total of 834,759 vehicles where recalled in Japan alone and another 762,000 recalled from the US and Canada.
A further 194,409 are being recalled in China and Taiwan.
The company will exchange for free defective parts on certain models
Earlier this year, Nissan recalled about 76,000 cars in Japan and more than 2,000 overseas due to a defect that may cause engine failure.
