NCC Orders Recall of Nissan, Toyota, and Lexus Models in South Africa Johannesburg, South Africa — The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has initiated a recall for several models from Nissan, Toyota, and Lexus, due to identified safety risks.
The recall encompasses 945 vehicles, including 314 Nissan Qashqai SUVs, 507 Toyota Land Cruiser 300s, and 124 Lexus LX600s. Nissan’s recall is specific to a faulty fuel pipe in the Qashqai models, which, if not addressed, could lead to fuel leaks.
The affected Nissan vehicles were sold between May 4, 2021, and September 17, 2024. Toyota’s recall, however, is attributed to manufacturing debris within the engine of the Land Cruiser 300s and LX600s, which could result in engine failure or an unexpected stall, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. These Toyota and Lexus models were sold between December 2022 and May 2024.
The NCC’s proactive move underscores the importance of vehicle safety and the collaboration between manufacturers and regulatory bodies to ensure consumer protection. Vehicle owners are advised to check their vehicle identification numbers (VIN) to determine if their vehicles are included in the recall. Affected owners are urged to have their vehicles inspected and repaired at authorized dealerships promptly.
This recall serves as a reminder to vehicle owners to remain vigilant about safety issues and to stay informed about recalls related to their vehicles.
The NCC’s commitment to public interest and high safety standards in the automotive industry is evident through this initiative. For more information, vehicle owners can refer to the NCC’s official website or contact their respective dealerships.
