History Behind the Recall
Nissan is recalling 443,899 vehicles across its Nissan and Infiniti brands over a defect in the VC-Turbo engine that could lead to catastrophic engine failure.
The issue involves poorly manufactured engine bearings in the 1.5L and 2.0L turbocharged engines, which may produce metal debris and cause the engine to seize. Affected vehicles include the 2021–2024 Nissan Rogue, 2019–2020 Nissan Altima, 2019–2022 Infiniti QX50, and 2022 Infiniti QX55.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is overseeing the recall, which Nissan launched after internal investigations confirmed the potential failure risk.

What Owners Need to Do Next
Nissan and Infiniti dealers will inspect the engine oil pan for metal debris. If debris is found, the engine will be replaced at no cost. If the pan is clean, it will be reassembled with fresh oil. Vehicles with 1.5L engines will also get a new sump gasket and ECU update.
Owners will receive notification letters with the next steps. In the meantime, they are encouraged to schedule inspections with their dealership.
