This Nissan recall comes after thousands of UK motorists have been left with undriveable cars due to a serious airbag defect alert. A critical safety recall was made last month for certain models of the Citroen C3 and its counterpart, the DS3. The warning concerns second-generation Citroen C3s produced from 2009 to 2016, as well as first-generation DS3s built from 2016 to 2019. These cars are equipped with potentially defective Takata airbag systems. The situation stems from an incident where a woman suffered fatal injuries from an airbag in a 2014 Citroen C3 in Reims, France. Article continues below Consequently, approximately 82,000 C3 and DS3 units have been withdrawn from circulation throughout France. It is estimated by the BBC that roughly 120,000 UK motorists could be impacted by this alert.

Nissan recalls over 480,000 vehicles in US and Canada
Agencies Nissan is recalling more than 480,000 of its vehicles across the U.S. and Canada due to potential manufacturing defects that could cause engine failure. The recall covers certain Nissan Rogues between 2021-2024 model years and 2019-2020 Altimas — as well as a number of 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50s and 2022 Infiniti QX55s sold under the automaker's luxury brand, according to Nissan and documents published by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration this week. The vehicles impacted carry specific 'VC-Turbo' engines that may have manufacturing defects in their bearings, the NHTSA's recall report notes. This may cause engine damage and possibly lead to engine failure while driving, the regulator warns — increasing crash risks. Engine bearing failures 'are not typically instantaneous and tend to progress over time,' the NHTSA's recall report notes. That means effected drivers may see multiple warning signs to look out for — including abnormal noises or malfunction indicator lights. In the U.S., 443,899 vehicles are covered in this recall, per NHTSA documents. And in Canada, 37,837 are affected, a Nissan spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday. As a remedy, the NHSTA's recall report notes, Nissan and Infiniti dealers will inspect the engine pan of these-now recalled carsand repair or replace the engine if necessary. The recall covers vehicles with either 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L VC-Turbo engines.
