TOKYO, March 3, 2010 (AFP) - Nissan Motor said Wednesday it will recall nearly 540,000 vehicles worldwide, most of them in the United States, due to brake pedal defects and faulty fuel gauges.

Nissan said in a statement it plans "to inspect and, if necessary, repair brake pedal pins and fuel-gauge components on certain trucks and minivans."

"No accidents or injuries have been reported with these issues," it said.
