Recalls: Nissan C11 Tiida
- In December 2008, a recall was issued for Nissan C11 Tiida vehicles due to a potentially poor connection the rear stop lamp socket and its bulb which could prevent it from operating (PRA 2008/10499).
- In October 2010, a recall was issued for Nissan C11 Tiida vehicles due to potential contamination of the intelligent power distribution module (IPDM) relay, caused by a build-up of silicon oxide (caused by silicon evaporating from the lay diode). This contamination could lead to poor conduction at the relay contacts, potentially causing the engine to stall and failing to restart (PRA 2010/12094). The recalled vehicles were available for sale from March 2004 to June 2006 and included vehicles in the following VIN ranges:
- JN1BBAC11A0100013 to JN1BBAC11A0103267; and,
- JN1FBAC11A0000010 to JN1FBAC11A0003883.
- In May 2016, a recall was issued for Nissan C11 Tiida vehicles that were manufactured from October 2006 to December 2012. The propellant wafers in some of the airbag inflators could absorb moisture over time, leading to overly aggressive combustion in the event of an airbag deployment. In certain conditions, excessive internal pressure could cause the body of the airbag inflator to rupture on deployment. As such, abnormal deployment of the driver’s airbag or the scattering of metal fragments posed a safety hazard to the occupants of the vehicle. The VINs of the recalled Nissan C11 Tiida vehicles were in the range MNT*BAC11A0000011 to MNT*BAC11A0024281 (PRA 2016/15383).
