Nissan Recall 2010 Another Automotive Industry Snafu.  Japanese automakers are in the midst of an American Auto Storm, as all three of the top car manufacturers in that country have had recalls in recent months.  First, the Toyota accelerator recall took millions of the most popular vehicles off the road, suspended manufacturing, and brought the head of the company in front of Congress.

Then, Honda had a couple of recalls of their own.  They had some issues with some airbags and the Fit’s window would catch on fire if it got wet.

Now, Nissan is having trouble with their cars.  The Nissan recall is only the latest news in the automotive industry.  Their woes are felt with the following models:

1. Nissan Titan
2. Nissan Infiniti QX56
3. Nissan Armada
4. Nissan Quest

The years of the models are 2008 to 2010.  The issue is with the brake pins which can affect the regular braking of a vehicle.   Unlike with the Toyota recalls, the Nissan brake issue hasn’t caused any accidents.  The company is unsure as to what is the root cause of the problem, and a thorough investigation is underway.  The problems could have been caused by a supplier.
How do the recent recalls make you feel? Are you more leery of purchasing a vehicle with all the problems going on in the industry? Japan isn’t the only country with problems.  US manufacturer GM also recently announced a power steering recall as well.
