Our San Jose–Sunnyvale–Santa Clara area lemon law attorney at Shainfeld Law recently discussed the prevalent issues with the 2018-2023 Nissan Altima and Rogue. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced a significant step, initiating an investigation into approximately 454,840 Nissan Motor Co. vehicles.
Why is the NHTSA Investigating Half a Million Nissan Vehicles?
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) said it has opened a preliminary evaluation into the 2021-23 Nissan Rogue, 2019-21 Altima, and 2019-21 Infiniti Qx50 vehicles.
ODI said vehicle owners reported engine failures, a loss of power, engine knocking noises, and metal chunks and shavings found in the oil pan of certain vehicles equipped with the KR15DDT and KR20DDET engines.
The regulator said that the Japanese automaker has introduced multiple manufacturing process changes over time to address main bearing and L-link damage or seizures on the engines.
The investigation, as announced by ODI, is a preliminary one. However, it is crucial to note that it may be expanded in the future if deemed necessary, keeping all potential issues under careful scrutiny.
