Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd (ETCM) has initiated a service campaign to solve a fuel meter related issue faced by some owners of Nissan Grand Livina, Nissan Latio and Latio Sport.

In a statement today, it said it had recently received some cases in which the fuel meter may not show accurate lower reading position of fuel gauge.

'Upon investigation, it was found that such incidents may have been caused by electrochemical migration on the resistor-card in the fuel gauge being affected by a combination of environmental aspect and fuel variation.'

The service campaign is for 32,100 units of Nissan Grand Livina produced from December 2007 to June 2010 and 9,300 units of Nissan Latio and Latio Sport produced from May 2007 to June 2010 in Malaysia.

In the meantime to avoid inconvenience, it advised all affected Nissan car owners to constantly keep their vehicle's fuel level at half tank or more pending replacement of the parts.

'We initiated this service campaign to cover all the vehicles produced during the mentioned period even though not all the vehicles may be affected. All labour and replacement parts for this less than an hour exercise will be free-of-charge,' its executive director, Datuk Dr Ang Bon Beng said.

The affected Nissan car owners may contact the nearest Tan Chong Express Auto Service Centre or Customer Service Hotline at Toll FREE line: 1800-88-3838 for a service appointment. It can be also done during scheduled maintenance service.-- Bernama
