Nissan is recalling nearly half a million vehicles across the U.S. and Canada because of a defect in the engine bearings that may lead to engine failure and increase crash risk.
History Behind the Recall
Nissan North America has issued a safety recall for 443,899 vehicles in the United States and additional units in Canada due to a manufacturing issue involving the VC-Turbo engine. The affected vehicles are equipped with 1.5L three-cylinder or 2.0L four-cylinder VC-Turbo engines, which may suffer from defective engine bearings.
Over time, this defect could cause internal damage or total engine failure, posing a significant safety risk to drivers and passengers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that about 1.2% of the recalled vehicles may actually contain the defect. Nissan reports no injuries related to this issue as of now.
