The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has announced a recall of 1,665 Nissan Qashqai Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) in South Africa, following a safety concern identified by Nissan South Africa.
The affected vehicles were sold nationwide between 4 May 2021 and 17 October 2024. According to Nissan, the issue involves possible movement of the fuel pipe within its retaining clip during engine operation. This could cause wear on the pipe, potentially leading to a perforation and fuel leak.
Acting NCC Commissioner Hardin Ratshisusu urged all affected owners to act swiftly:
“The success of the recalls depends on the immediate response by owners of these vehicles. The NCC urges consumers to take affected vehicles to the nearest authorised dealership for inspection and necessary repairs, at no cost to the consumer.”
Consumers can contact Nissan dealerships or visit the company’s website to check if their vehicle is part of the recall.
