Dongfeng Nissan to Recall 170 Ariya Electric Vehicles Due to Safety Hazard

TapTechNews June 7 - Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. has filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation in accordance with the Requirements of the Regulations on the Management of Recalled Defective Automobile Products and the Implementing Measures of the Regulations on the Management of Recalled Defective Automobile Products. Starting from June 28, 2024, it will recall some Nissan Ariya electric vehicles of Dongfeng Nissan brand produced from August 30, 2022 to May 31, 2023, a total of 170 vehicles.

For some vehicles within the scope of this recall, due to the damage to the oil seal caused during the assembly of the drive motor bearing, resulting in poor sealing, the engine oil inside the motor seeps out and forms a solid with carbon brush powder, and the accumulation causes a short circuit. After the vehicle detects abnormal current, it enters the protection mode to cut off the power supply, resulting in a power interruption during vehicle driving and posing a safety hazard.

Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. will replace the drive motor assembly for free for the vehicles within the scope of the recall to eliminate potential safety hazards.
