Nissan Micra Recalls

There are currently 19 safety recalls out on the Nissan Micra. To find out whether your car is affected, you'll need to find your car's VIN number.

How to find your VIN

The VIN can often be found on the lower-left corner of the dashboard, in front of the steering wheel.

You can read the number by looking through the windshield. The VIN may also appear in a number of other locations:

  • Front of the engine block. This should be easy to spot by opening the bonnet, and looking at the front of the engine.
  • Front of the car frame, near the container that holds windshield washer fluid.
  • Rear wheel well. Try looking up, directly above the tyre.
  • Inside the driver-side doorjamb. Open the door, and look underneath where the side-view mirror would be located if the door was shut.
  • Driver-side doorpost. Open the door, and look near the spot where the door latches, not too far from the seatbelt return.
  • Underneath the spare tyre.

    Concern:
    Unexpected Acceleration May Occur
    Defect:
    The engine ECM unit may have an error with its software. This could under certain exceptional engine start circumstances result in the ECM setting an incorrect engine throttle valve position. When the engine speed is in excess of 3 600 rpm the customer may briefly experience an unexpected acceleration. However the driver can counter this by applying the brakes.
    Remedy:
    Recall all affected vehicles to install new software.

    Driver Airbag May Fracture During Detonation
    Defect:
    It has been identified that due to the incorrect assembly of the driver airbag inflator. If the vehicle is involved in a collision and the air bag is required to deploy then the gas flow path may have been blocked increasing the internal pressure within the inflator. As a result the driver airbag inflator casing may crack and fragment.
    Remedy:
    Recall all affected vehicle to inspect and where necessary replace driver airbag with a quality assured item.
  • Announcement date:
    23/05/2013

    R/2013/063
    Car Build Date:
    02/12/2002 - 12/05/2006
    Concern:
    Steering Wheel Fixing Bolt May Not Be Tightened Correctly
    Defect:
    It is possible that the steering wheel mounting bolt may not have been torqued to the correct specification. In addition this torque setting may deteriorate over time as axial tension on the steering wheel boss can be affected by temperature change. The driver will receive warning of the issue by the excessive play/movement in the steering wheel. However should the driver neglect to take notice of this warning it is possible that the steering wheel could detach and affect direction control of the vehicle.
    Remedy:
    Recall all affected vehicle check the torque and if required re-torque the steering wheel bolt.
  • Announcement date:
    16/05/2013
    Recalls number:
    R/2013/060

    Concern:
    Braking Performance May Be Affected
    Defect:
    The brake master cylinder piston/plunger outer surface is not to specification. This can result in an issue with the internal seals in the cylinder which can cause longer brake pedal travel under light braking. In extreme cases braking efficiency maybe affected.
    Remedy:
    Recall all affected vehicles and replace the brake master cylinder.
  • Announcement date:
    03/04/2012
    Recalls number:
    R/2012/024

    25/01/2011 - 29/12/2011
    Concern:
    Fuel May Leak
    Defect:
    Nissan has identified that the fuel rail pressure sensor of some vehicles may have not been correctly tightened to the fuel rail of the engine and may loosen gradually due to heat and vibration of the engine. If left undetected and the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition in extreme cases fuel leakage may occur.
    Remedy:
    Re-tighten the pressure sensor and replace the pressure sensor gasket if required.
  • Announcement date:

    Recalls number:
    R/2010/185
    Car Build Date:
    29/01/2004 - 28/06/2006
    Concern:
    Engine May Stall & Fail To Restart
    Defect:
    It has been identified that it is possible that the contacts in engine control module (ECM) and ignition relay situationed in the Intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM) may become contaminated with silicon oxide due to the evaporating of the silicon from within the units. In extreme cases this could result in the stalling of the engine and the failure to restart the engine.
    Remedy:
    Recall all affected vehicles and replace the defective units.
