NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Nissan is recalling more than 480,000 of its vehicles across the U.S. and Canada due to potential manufacturing defects that could cause engine failure.<\/p>\n
The recall covers certain Nissan Rogues between 2021-2024 model years and 2019-2020 Altimas \u2014 as well as a number of 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50s and 2022 Infiniti QX55s sold under the automaker\u2019s luxury brand, according to Nissan and documents published by<\/a> the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration this week.<\/p>\n The vehicles impacted carry specific \u201cVC-Turbo\u201d engines that may have manufacturing defects in their bearings, the NHTSA\u2019s recall report notes<\/a>. This may cause engine damage and possibly lead to engine failure while driving, the regulator warns \u2014 increasing crash risks.<\/p>\n Engine bearing failures \u201care not typically instantaneous and tend to progress over time,\u201d the NHTSA\u2019s recall report notes. That means effected drivers may see multiple warning signs to look out for \u2014 including abnormal noises or malfunction indicator lights.<\/p>\n In the U.S., 443,899 vehicles are covered in this recall, per NHTSA documents. And in Canada, 37,837 are affected, a Nissan spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday.<\/p>\n As a remedy, the NHSTA\u2019s recall report notes, Nissan and Infiniti dealers will inspect the engine pan of these-now recalled cars \u2014 and repair or replace the engine if necessary. The recall covers vehicles with either 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L VC-Turbo engines. Potential repairs \u2014 which will be performed free of charge \u2014 will depend on the engine and whether or not debris is detected during the inspection.<\/p>\n In an emailed statement, Nissan said it initiated this recall as part of its \u201congoing commitment to customer safety.\u201d And in late August, the company added, notification letters will be mailed out to affected owners \u201cwith instructions to bring their vehicle to a Nissan dealer or INFINITI retailer for inspection and repair if necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n In the meantime, drivers can also confirm if their specific vehicle is included in this recall and find more information using the NHTSA site<\/a> or Nissan\u2019s recall lookup<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Nissan is recalling more than 480,000 of its vehicles across the U.S. and Canada…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":36078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[29553,64,2147,419,27852,29552,24129,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-36077","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-auto-industry","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-cars","12":"tag-ltd","13":"tag-nissan-motor-co","14":"tag-product-recalls","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114790929743862277","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
