Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has initiated a service campaign for 32,100 units of the Nissan Grand Livina produced from December 2007 to June 2010 and 9,300 units of Nissan Latio and Latio Sport produced from May 2007 to June 2010 in Malaysia.
There has been some cases in which the fuel gauge (meter) may not show an accurate reading, especially at the lower end (might still show that there’s petrol left, even when there’s none). Upon investigation, it was found that such incidents may have been caused by “electrochemical migration on the resistor-card in the fuel gauge being affected by a combination of environmental aspects, fuel variation and etc”.
Owners of the abovementioned models can contact the nearest Tan Chong Express Auto Service Centre or ETCM’s Customer Service Hotline toll free at 1800-88-3838 to book a service appointment. Alternatively, the fix can also be done during your scheduled service. Not all vehicles may have the issue, but this service campaign covers all 41,400 units of the models stated above.
“Customers are always our top priority. We initiated this service campaign to cover all the vehicles produced during the mentioned period even though not all the vehicles may be affected. All labour and replacement parts for this less than an hour exercise will be free-of-charge,” explained ETCM’s Executive Director, Dato’ Dr Ang Bon Beng.
In the meantime, to avoid the inconvenience of an empty tank, ETCM advises owners of the three models to constantly keep their vehicle’s fuel level at “half tank or more” pending replacement of the parts.

Kononnya jimat minyak.. tapi kena tipu dek fuel gauge.. dowh…
nk taw jimat x jimat, tngk kat info FC kte tu la..how many km per litre..dont juz simply refer to the meter gauge…LOL
bukan measurement tu berkaitan dengan fuel gauge jugak ke? kalau gauge ni rosak barangkali reading FC tu pun silap juga, kalau tak, takkanlah ada yang sampai kering petrol.
now i’m scare to buy nissan……..
no wonder they could achieve such numbers in the nissan fuel efficiency contest….lol…i remember looking at the numbers and it was some seriously impressive numbers….i had to take a shot….its funny………hahahahaha\
hello MR or MS SOMEONE if fuel gauge had problem in nissan fuel efficiency contest
the vehicle will break down immediately ,how come still can finish the whole trip,please think abt it ”POTATO”
han han takes it so seriously and sounded not happy with Someone’s comment. han han most probably is driving a nissan la. LOL
jealous?
but the way…the FC is quite impressive for me
too optimistic fuel gauge? i wished mine was a little more optimistic :(
“has initiated a service campaign” ? a different language of RECALL?
proton tak pernah ambil tau pasal fuel gauge pada LMST
normal car “E” for Empty and “F” for Full…Nissan made a mistake, they thought “E” for Enough and “F” for Finish?? XD
See….. don’t alwiz complaint Proton this la that la….. Other well known manufacturer also got problems!!!! simple fuel gauge error only now TC know sigh***
My old Wira vibrates between one quarter tank and empty when it is near empty. Dunno why Proton never issue recall. Haha had no choice but to sell it
but proton have much much much moooree problem than nissan ma…haha..power window, engine cannot start although in 2 months old car n bla2…too much to list..
But the Proton is much more cheaper (pls don’t include the different tax-count), Malaysian mostly can accept the condition for the price…
That’s is the reality in taxed Malaysia car, accept or regred.
mostly accept??are u sure enough just_once?fyi..the tax for imported car is just to save the proton company..do you think people who buy proton cars can accept such silly problems?the simplest one is the power window. customers have their own right. how can imported car which below 60k still can provide very good quality? (60k imported car included tax, without tax maybe it only 40k) but it still much better than 60k proton cars quality. people who buy proton just only it is ‘cheaper’ than imported cars doesnt mean people accept their condition. how cheap the car made buy proton, customer still DESERVE TO GET A BETTER QUALITY.
Have you heard new proton having problems with Power Window etc.
Besides, even expensive cars have problems with Power Window etc. yet people still accept!
come la in 2011 still joke about power window ka…lawak basi….want to bash bash la about something new…….
i trust proton nowadays has improve a lot. However, this few issues will still make me not buying proton cars yet…
– high bank interest
– low second value
– fuel economy
– i still doubt about safety
– after sales service
other issues, i still can live with it. Even T & H also got issues.. its normal to me.
power window again!! r u living in the dinosaur age? new version of Proton dont hv that prob again la weh..
Just curious, does ETCM informed Danny to post this service campaign or you found out yourself ?
If ETCM informed then i shall applaud ETCM sincerity.
My fren’s Vios also has these(two) special service campaign in writting mailed to owners, but never mentioned in to blog before……
transformer, ETCM sent out a press release on the matter today in the early evening, fyi. I received it too.
I have latio sport for 3years and now is 100K KM already. i always pump ron97 and you know what? i can hit ~550KM +- 20KM per tank after the fuel light ON and still drive again 30KM. everytime i always monitor the petrol station pump meter show me around 43 to 44L. i think it is quite accurate also. laton have max 52L per tank.
not all latio affected, obviously your is not….
FC-wise nothing to do with the inaccurate gauge. Old issues in the abovementioned cars as first two indicator and the last two indicator (of 4 quarters) for fuel gauge not corresponding to the volume of fuel.
Imagine a bottle of coke if you can’t figure out Nissan fuel gauge system.
Livina speedometer too, incorrect if you based on gps, unlike xtrail or other models.
I fixed mine before this. My car was hit by this problem as the indicator still show got petrol and my mileage was more than usual. Then my entire car stopped and I can’t start the engine. Then tow back to check. Said indicator problem. My car no more petrol. Changed it and now is fine.
Jangan cakap banyak.
Let’s have a FC contest rematch. Maybe ETCM can sponsor.
Kahakahaa…
i think you need to wait long long time…………………..
My 2009 livina is still doing well after these two years,180km is my top speed..not bas for 1.6 litre huh…however at sich a speed not sure wwther the speedo is correct or not no engine modification made only body kit and motul absorber other livina owners please input your finding too kay
I am also one of the owners affected by the fuel meter thing. Complained a few times about it and they said they changed the entire fuel meter component once but still same problem. With this news, hopefully the new replacement component will actually work properly.
what nissan do you use? hope teana do not have this problem…
DK ~ sama la kita….
Not only fuel gauge got problem door and steering also got problem
My car’s Grand Livina the first problem happen is steering totaly lose can turn how many round do u want. The second problem happen is car boot’s door hard to close and left front door hard to open. The third problem happen is fuel gauge
So went you want to buy NISSAN’s car please…… better think carefully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Common problem on Proton now happens in Nissan. Proton & Nissan merging? When will our new Perdana aka Fuga coming out?
TC shall make the recall earlier before I met with this problem!…….sigh…
They promised the parts are ready after 2 weeks, but still not yet arrived after 3 weeks ++..

bro…dah baca kat newsapaper, masih tak sedar ke? kan diorg dah bagi tau…
NISSAN has to improve. Grand Livina is one of the popular MPV. The car has not changed since several years. It would be better to come up with a facelift like others, add equipment, improve the interior. This is my advice to NISSAN.
few other problem for GL … aircond (cooling coil + filter) … disc brake … cabin (can smell fumes from outside even when all windows are closed) … etc
