Nissan Recalls 1,661 Patrol SUVs in UAE Over Torque Transfer Defect
UAE Recall: 1,661 Nissan Patrol Y63 SUVs for Torque Control Defect
Nissan Motor Co., in coordination with the UAE Ministry of Economy’s Competition and Consumer Protection Department, has recalled 1,661 Nissan Patrol Y63 (2025 models) over a defect in the torque transfer control unit that could cause sudden loss of propulsion.
Nature of the Problem
Nissan reports that under certain accelerator inputs, the torque transfer software may distribute power incorrectly between the front and rear axles, causing the vehicle’s driving force to drop to zero. The issue is limited to specific production batches.
Recall Campaign
Authorized dealers will contact affected owners directly:
Arabian Automobiles Company – Dubai, Sharjah, and Northern Emirates
Al Masaood Automobiles – Abu Dhabi and Al Ain
Dealers will reprogram the transmission control unit and perform any necessary fixes free of charge.
Regional Context
Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia recalled 489 Patrol 2025 models for the same defect. Owners there were urged to check their VINs via Recalls.sa and visit Petromin Nissan for free repairs.
What Owners Should Do
Check your VIN: Confirm if your vehicle is affected through Nissan service centers or official dealer communications.
Book an appointment: Contact Arabian Automobiles or Al Masaood for free reprogramming.
Stay updated: Monitor announcements from Nissan and the UAE Ministry of Economy.
Why It Matters
Automotive recalls are common, but Nissan’s swift response shows its commitment to customer safety and regulatory compliance. Drivers are urged to act quickly to avoid potential power loss, especially at high speeds or during overtaking.
