THREE Japanese car makers announced recalls yesterday, mostly in their home market and not on the same scale as recent moves by the likes of industry leader Toyota which heightened scrutiny of car safety.
Nissan Motor Co, Japan's No. 3 car maker, said it would recall 76,415 cars across 10 models in Japan and 2,281 cars overseas on a possible defect that may cause engine failure.
Suzuki Motor, Japan's No. 4 car maker, said it would recall 432,366 units of two minicar models in Japan after two reported incidents of fire due to a possible defect in air conditioners.
Daihatsu Motor said it would recall 60,774 units of four minicar models in Japan due to wiring problems that could trigger airbags to inflate accidentally. Mini vehicles, with an engine size of 660cc, are only sold in Japan.
The recalls follow one of more than 8 million cars by Toyota Motor Corp.
Nissan, 44 percent owned by French car maker Renault SA, said it found a connecting terminal between circuit cords in the engine had in some cases been damaged in the testing process before the cars were sold.
It could then cause the engine to fail during driving, Nissan said.
