Nissan Expands Recall to 480,000 Cars in US, Canada

Nissan has recalled over 480,000 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada, including 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue, 2019-2020 Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50, and 2022 Infiniti QX55 models, due to manufacturing defects in the bearings of their 1.5L and 2.0L variable compression turbo engines. These defects could lead to engine damage or failure, with owners possibly noticing abnormal noises, rough engine operation, or warning lights. Dealers will inspect for metal debris in oil pans and, depending on findings, repair or replace the engine or perform preventative maintenance such as oil and gasket changes, all at no cost. Owners will receive notification letters starting in late August 2025. No crashes or injuries have been reported. The recall highlights ongoing quality and reliability challenges for Nissan amid recent technical and financial difficulties.
