Engine / equipment
Body control module (BCM) and indicators: Nissan Qashqai J11
Period mentioned
2017–2018 (built from 5/6/2017 to 15/1/2018; only the VINs in the recall)
Symptoms
If an indicator bulb fails, the dashboard does not warn you (it does not flash at double speed), so you may not notice it is out.
Possible cause described
According to the UK DVSA (R/2018/091) and the EU alert A12/0856/18 (Safety Gate), an incorrect body control module (BCM) software setting means an indicator failure is not warned about. The fix is to reprogram the BCM.
