YOKOHAMA (dpa-AFX) - Nissan Motor Co. (NSANF.PK, NSANY.PK) said Monday it will recall 1.2 million cars in Japan, after Japanese regulators said the vehicles received improper quality checks at the factory.
Inspectors from Japan's Transport Ministry found that final quality checks on the assembly line weren't conducted by the right employees.
The recall covers vehicles produced in all of Nissan's factories in Japan and isn't limited to any one model. Nissan cars sold in other countries aren't subject to recalls for this issue, the company said.
Nissan Chief Executive Hiroto Saikawa said the recall could cost the company more than $200 million.
