<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/nissan/">Nissan</a> has issued a recall for more than a thousand <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/13/all-new-nissan-patrol-unveiled-in-the-uae/">Nissan Patrol</a> models in the Middle East, citing electrical problems that could affect the engine's fuel supply leading to engine stalls. According to Monal Zeidan, the general manager of marketing and communications for Nissan Middle East, there are problems with an integrated circuit inside the vehicle's electronic control module (ECM). Zeidan goes on to say that if the ECM fails the fuel injectors could stop working and the engine may stop. Owners of the 1,250 affected vehicles in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are being asked to visit their dealerships to have a revised ECM installed.<br />

While the all-new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/20/first-drive-2011-infiniti-qx56-overcomes-the-odds/">2011 Infiniti QX56</a> is heavily based on the Nissan Patrol, our sources at Infiniti say the two models run different ECMs. That's a bit of good news for owners of Infiniti's latest flagship SUV, as it means they won't need to worry about the recall.<br />
