Nissan recalls 440,000 defective vehicles, may have to replace engines

Nissan is recalling more than 440,000 vehicles in the US due to a faulty engine bearing, which may require the entire engine to be replaced free of charge. Affected vehicles will be inspected at dealerships.

Nissan has just announced a recall of more than 440,000 vehicles in the US due to a serious technical defect related to engine bearings, which can lead to complete damage and require engine replacement.

Affected models include the Nissan Altima, Rogue, and Infiniti QX50, QX55, equipped with 1.5- and 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engines. The issue occurs because some engines may have been assembled with poor quality bearings, posing a risk of serious failure.

However, Nissan is not replacing the engines on all vehicles in the recall immediately. First, the company is asking owners to take their vehicles to a dealer for inspection. Technicians will remove the bottom of the oil pan and inspect the bearings for wear. If any foreign matter or damage is found, the engine will be completely replaced. If there are no problems, the vehicle will be reassembled and the oil will be changed.

In particular, for models using 2.0-liter engines, Nissan will only change the oil if there are no signs of damage. For 1.5-liter engines, in addition to changing the oil, the car will also have new crankcase gaskets and an updated engine control software. This process is a proactive check to isolate vehicles with serious errors and avoid unnecessary engine replacement.

This isn’t the first time Nissan has faced recall issues. The company avoided another recall of up to 2 million vehicles when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) ended a years-long investigation into broken front suspension arms in the 2013-2018 Altima and 2016-2018 Maxima.

Although this error exists, Nissan has now proactively fixed it and announced that users can detect it early through unusual sounds and vibrations before an accident occurs.
