Recalls: Nissan C11 Tiida
Nissan C11 Tiida: rear stop lamp
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. The recalled vehicles had VINs in the following range: JN1FBAC11A0000010 to JN1FBAC11A0007470. For further information, please see PRA 2008/10499.
2006 Nissan C11 Tiida: engine may stall and not restart
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 prior to June 2006 and included vehicles in the following VIN ranges:
- JN1BBAC11A0100013 to JN1BBAC11A0103267; and,
- JN1FBAC11A0000010 to JN1FBAC11A0003883.
2006-2012 Nissan C11 Tiida: Takata airbag recall #1
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).
MY2006-2012 Nissan C11 Tiida: Takata airbag recall #2
In October 2017, a recall campaign was issued for 2006 model year to 2012 Nissan C11 Tiida vehicles. These recalled vehicles were fitted with Takata airbag inflators in which the propellant wafers could degrade over time due to heat and humidity. If the vehicle was involved in a collision which triggered the airbag, the metal inflator housing could explode or rupture due to excessive internal pressure. This could cause metal fragments to be projected out of the airbag cushion towards vehicle occupants, posing a risk of serious injury or fatality. Owners were advised to stop driving the vehicle until the airbag was replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2017/16363.
