Nissan is recalling 173,301 vehicles in the United States due to a defect that could cause the engine to stall, posing a potential safety risk.
The issue stems from a blown fuel pump fuse that can interrupt the fuel supply to the engine, increasing the likelihood of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The affected vehicles include several popular Nissan models, though the company has not yet disclosed all specific models involved.
Nissan is working closely with the NHTSA to address the issue and ensure that vehicle owners are informed promptly.
The automaker plans to notify affected customers and dealers beginning in November.
