Nissan Ireland Limited has announced a voluntary recall affecting multiple models of Nissan vehicles due to safety concerns. One issue involves certain Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail models, where an incorrect software calibration of the lithium-ion battery could lead to a loss of engine power while driving. This malfunction could potentially cause the vehicle to stop unexpectedly, increasing the risk of accidents. The affected Qashqai vehicles were produced between July 8, 2025, and May 20, 2026, while the X-Trail models were made between December 1, 2021, and April 21, 2026.
Additionally, some Nissan Qashqai vehicles produced between May 4, 2021, and October 17, 2024, are being recalled due to a potential fuel line movement that could result in a fuel leak, posing a fire hazard. Another recall involves Nissan NV400 vehicles produced from November 16, 2022, to April 25, 2024, where the AdBlue dosing module may not have been initialized correctly, leading to non-compliance with emissions regulations.
Lastly, Nissan Townstar vehicles manufactured between February 5, 2021, and May 16, 2025, are being recalled due to a design flaw in the rear swing doors that could cause head injuries to users when entering or exiting the vehicle.
