Nissan, Mazda recall cars

The recall included Mazda6s from model years 2009
through 2013.


NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Automakers Nissan and Mazda have
announced separate recalls that total
nearly 260,000 cars.
Mazda warned that doors in up to 98,000 Mazda6
sedans could open while the cars are in motion. The
company blamed door latching screws used in model
years 2009 through 2013. The company said dealers
would apply a thread-locking adhesive, replace any
missing screws and tighten them.
Nissan said two of its Infiniti model cars could stall
while in motion. The M35 and M45 sedans of model
years 2006 to 2010 -- over 161,000 cars -- could have
accelerator pedal sensors that deteriorate. The sensor
could send incorrect signals to the engine, causing it to
stall while the vehicle comes to a stop or is idling,
Nissan said.
Nissan has previously recalled vehicles, including
some Infiniti series models from 2005 and 2006, for
stalling issues.
Both automakers said they would notify vehicle owners
this fall. Neither reported any injuries as a result of the
issues.
Toyota also announced a recall this week of
615,000 Sienna minivans, saying a mechanism issue
could allow some vehicles to roll away when parked.
