2025 Nissan Patrol Y63: UAE recall explained
As per the details, Nissan Motor Corp., Japan, has identified numerous vehicles sold internationally with defects. One such model is the new-generation Patrol Y63 model, which is highly popular in the UAE.
The recall initiated is due to the torque transfer control unit malfunction. This is the part of the 4X4 drivetrain that connects the front and rear drivetrains and transfers the torque when the driver presses the accelerator.
