According to the manufacturer Nissan is set to recall roughly 34000 Sentra and 28000 Juke vehicles due to the engine stalling. The recall states a zinc coating on the battery cables can cause damage to the engine control computer. The vehicles could stall while running and may be difficult to restart increasing the risk of crash.
Commentary
Though not that large of a recall any safety issue with a motor vehicle should be taken care of quickly. Manufacturers are required by federal law to issue a recall when they determine a safety issue is involved with a member of their fleet. If an injury were to occur because of a defective product or design a third party investigation would need to be conducted to meticulously link that injury with the defect in question. Defense attorneys are particularly good at decoupling the two.
