Hi apologies if this has been posted before.

I was on Holiday last week in Spain and flicked on BBC World. There was news item saying loads of Nissan cars were getting recalled because of an engine problem. Then the newsreader said Nissan make cars under the Subaru badge.
Now even the last bit is news to me. Have they got it wrong? Anyone know anything about this.

 

I don't think there's any link at all between subaru and nissan...

 

check your drivers door leccy window switches and hazzard lights and heated rear screen switches!!!!
these are some NISSAN branded parts i found on my uk99
absolutely amazed!!
jap car makers must share quite some parts so not suprised to hear one makers recall affecting another,wouldn't suprise me in the slightest!!

eric


if i'd wanted nissan junk i would have bought a skyline

 

Im pretty sure the indicator/wiper stalks are from Nissan too (MY98) ones anyway IIRC

 

Elecy window switches are common to a lot of Japanese cars

Parts from my MY99 are simillar/same to my dad's old MY94 Mitsu Lancer Estate

 

lol
nowt todo with me

1 year ago i was actualy building up the nissan engines on there assemmbly lines

nowadays ive moved on and do the micra seats, if theres a massive recal on micra seats due to delamination then ill hold my hands up and admit i ****ed up nissans chances for survival

lmao

 

There is plenty of shared parts between subaru and nissan, the rear diff on mine is the same as a 300ZX, as are the rear brake calipers, Subaru 4 pot front brakes are the same as nissan too (yes they brand them as Subaru).

This is the same in the UK, with thousands of small companies making parts for all the UK manufacturers, for example companies like GKN make the driveshafts and UJ's for most of the UK factories, whoever they are. Same with Garret for turbo's etc etc.

It's normal practice in the motor industry to share parts made by a subcontracting company, it keeps the costs down.

 

Some of the switchgear (Mirror control, window switches) in my mates Mitsubishi GTO are the same as my WRX. Lots of manufacturers share the same parts bins for stuff like that I think, I doubt Nissan have anything to do with scooby engines though.
