No stalling on Pulsar
Nissan has implemented a service campaign on stalling PulsarsNissan Australia has confirmed it is carrying out a “voluntary service campaign” on over 9000 Pulsar sedans. The sedans affected are those Pulsars built in Thailand and fitted with Nissan’s Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and 1.8-litre MRA8DE powerplant.
Nissan says an Engine Control Module (ECM) software glitch can lead to rough idling and engine stalling on a closed throttle at low speeds. The remedy is a ‘reflash’ of the ECM. It will be carried out free of charge to customers.
Nissan PR boss, Peter Fadeyev told motoring.com.au the fault effects around 9270 cars. Of these almost 3700 are with private customers and approximately 1000 are in fleets. The rest of the affected vehicles are still in Nissan's hands (or its dealers’).
Fadeyev told motoring.com.au: “It [the service campaign] was initiated as stalling was reported under certain conditions at low speeds -- approximately 10-60km/h. The car can be restarted if stalling does occur.”
According to Nissan, the fault does not warrant a safety recall. Nissan says all owners of affected vehicles were notified of the service campaign last month by registered letter.
