TOKYO (XFN-ASIA) - Nissan Motor Co is recalling some 150,000 cars due to troubles with brake parts and electric devices, the transport ministry said.

The firm reported the recall to the ministry, saying it will cover 144,298 Elgrand minivans produced between April 2002 and Dec 2005, as well as 11,154 March minicars produced between Feb 2002 and March 2004 in Japan.

The minivans have a design problem that may make the braking distance longer, while the minicars have trouble with its electric switch system, the ministry said.

This shows exactly why GM needs this merger. Look, for years GM could rest on its laurels as the auto industry's biggest recaller. But now their rcall share is down, year after year. And year after year Toyota's share of recalls is growing. By merging with Nissan, GM can combine its recall numbers and ensure its place as the worldwide leader for a little longer.

Well at least it is not in the United States (the recalls that is).
