    Over 440,000 Nissan and Infiniti Cars and SUVs Recalled for Engine Failure

    A manufacturing defect means some vehicles will need to have their engine replaced, free of charge

    Nissan and Infiniti are recalling some 2019-2020 Nissan Altima sedans, 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue SUVs, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50 SUVs, and 2022 Infiniti QX55 SUVs because a manufacturing defect may cause their engine to fail while driving.

    More on car Recalls

    Only vehicles equipped with a 1.5-liter three-cylinder or a 2.0-liter four-cylinder variable compression turbocharged engine are included in the recall. An internal investigation found that these engines may have faulty bearings. According to documents provided by Nissan, bearing failures typically progress over time and are not instantaneous. Drivers will likely notice abnormal engine noises, rough running, and warning lights before engine failure occurs.

    To address the problem, Nissan and Infiniti dealerships will inspect the engine oil pan for metal debris and, if necessary, repair or replace the engine. As with all recall repairs, the fix will be free of charge.

    Nissan Altima, Rogue, and Infiniti QX Recall Details

    Vehicles Recalled
    • Nissan Altima sedans manufactured between May 25, 2018, and Dec. 11, 2019
    • Nissan Rogue SUVs manufactured between March 12, 2021, and Aug. 1, 2024
    • Infiniti QX50 SUVs manufactured between Oct. 6, 2017, and Jan. 10, 2022
    • Infiniti QX55 SUVs manufactured between Feb. 10, 2021, and Jan. 10, 2022

    The problem: A manufacturing defect in the main, A-, C-, or L-link engine bearing or supporting engine components may cause engine damage and potentially lead to engine failure.

    The fix: Dealerships will examine the engine oil pan for evidence of debris. If debris is found, they will replace the engine at no charge. If no debris is found, they will replace the oil pan gasket and engine oil and reprogram the engine software on three-cylinder engines, and change the engine oil on four-cylinder engines.

    How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may contact Nissan at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 800-662-6200.
