One of the most popular caravan towcars is being recalled by its manufacturer as part of a global initiative.
Nissan is ordering the recall of over 900,000 models including the X-Trail, which is a big favourite with caravan owners across the UK.
Toyota is looking for the return of a series of model due to a number of “minor accidents” related to a lever problem which causes the vehicle to shift out of park mode without the driver’s interference.
Nissan stated that the affected models include the Serena, Infiniti M, Lafesta and Fuga made in Japan between 2004 and 2013.
The problem relates to a flaw in the accelerator sensor but the company has maintained that no accidents have been reported. The worst scenario is that the engine could stall.
Toyota is also recalling 615,000 Sienna minivans in the US made during 2004 to 2005 and 2007 to 2009.
