Nissan has initiated a voluntary recall specifically for its Magnite sub-four-meter SUV in India, aimed at retrofitting the front door handle sensors. This recall affects all Magnite units produced between November 2020 and December 2023 particularly targeting the entry-level XE and mid-spec XL variants. Nissan plans to contact affected vehicle owners starting in April.
