NHTSA recall 02V165000
Electrical System · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain electric passenger vehicles. Due to a change in the integrated circuit for the motor control unit, the power supply unit can go into the fail-safe mode under the conditions of low battery charge and full acceleration at speeds greater than 30 miles per hour.
Why it matters: This can result in a sudden loss of power by the drive motor.
The fix: The lessors/operators of the 15 vehicles will be contacted and a technician will be sent to replace the motor control unit. Owner notification began July 15, 2002.
