Nissan Serena S-Hybrid recalled for faulty fuel pressure sensor – CBU units in Malaysia affected

nissan-serena-s-hybrid-c26-recalled

Just a while ago, it was announced that Nissan Motor had announced a recall campaign for the Serena, X-Trail and Juke in Japan over two separate faults concerning the fuel delivery system.

An official statement has been released by Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) stating that CBU units of the Nissan Serena S-Hybrid sold from July 2013 onwards are affected by the recall. The company has initiated a nationwide campaign and will contact respective owners to bring in their cars to re-tighten the fuel pressure sensor – failure to do so could lead to a case of potential fuel leakage.

Owners will not be charged for the service and no replacement parts are necessary. Customers who have purchased the CKD variant of the Serena S-Hybrid are not affected. Individuals with questions regarding the recall campaign may contact the Nissan Customer Care Centre on a toll-free line at 1800-88-3838.

    The most noteworthy thing about this article? CKD units aren’t affected while CBU units are affected. I’ll leave the conclusion making to you all.

      Ah what the heck, my conclusion is that CBU isn’t always better than CBU.

    from their fb malaysian owner group page it seems that the new serena got problem, maybe new customer should hold their purchases and wait until everything sort out first.

    I just placed a booking for a unit when I read this and it really worried me a bit. But when it was mentioned that CKDs are not affected, I was jumping for joy and praising hallelujah !!! Yeah. CBUs are not always better than CKDs. That’s for sure.

      And of course, you believe everything the company that assembles the CKD kits says? :D

        Told you already. Foreign cars may be worse than local cars. See Proton, no recall. every one safe and smile.
