The Nissan NV200, the van that’s meant to act as the backbone of the New York City taxi fleet, is being recalled. Compared to some of the recalls we’ve seen this year, the 2,529 NV200s needing repairs is not a particularly huge deal - but try telling that to their inconvenienced owners and drivers.
The recall affects NVs built between February 6, 2013, and August 2, 2013. The vans in question use a wiring harness near the battery that may wear through its protective covering, causing a short. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, if a short occurs, it can cause a blown fuse which will stop the fuel pump and in turn, the engine.
Nissan will be notifying owners and aims to start recall repairs by mid-December. Scroll down for the full bulletin from the NHTSA.Continue reading Nissan NV200 recalled over wiring harness
