NEW YORK (AP) Nissan is recalling more than 480,000 of its vehicles across the U.S. and Canada due to potential manufacturing defects that could cause engine failure.
The recall covers certain Nissan Rogues between 2021-2024 model years and 2019-2020 Altimas as well as a number of 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50s and 2022 Infiniti QX55s sold under the automakers luxury brand, according to Nissan and documents published by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration this week.
The vehicles impacted carry specific VC-Turbo engines that may have manufacturing defects in their bearings, the NHTSAs recall report notes . This may cause engine damage and possibly lead to engine failure while driving, the regulator warns increasing crash risks.
Engine bearing failures are not typically instantaneous and tend to progress over time, the NHTSAs recall report notes. That means effected drivers may see multiple warning signs to look out for including abnormal noises or malfunction indicator lights.
In the U.S., 443,899 vehicles are covered in this recall, per NHTSA documents. And in Canada, 37,837 are affected, a Nissan spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday.
As a remedy, the NHSTAs recall report notes, Nissan and Infiniti dealers will inspect the engine pan of these-now recalled cars and repair or replace the engine if necessary. The recall covers vehicles with either 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L VC-Turbo engines. Potential repairs which will be performed free of charge will depend on the engine and whether or not debris is detected during the inspection.
In an emailed statement, Nissan said it initiated this recall as part of its ongoing commitment to customer safety. And in late August, the company added, notification letters will be mailed out to affected owners with instructions to bring their vehicle to a Nissan dealer or INFINITI retailer for inspection and repair if necessary.
In the meantime, drivers can also confirm if their specific vehicle is included in this recall and find more information using the NHTSA site or Nissans recall lookup .
纽约（美联社）——由于潜在的制造缺陷可能导致发动机故障，日产汽车将在美国和加拿大召回超过48万辆汽车。
根据日产汽车公司和美国国家公路交通安全管理局本周发布的文件，此次召回涉及部分2021至2024款日产Rogue、2019至2020款Altima，以及该汽车制造商旗下豪华品牌英菲尼迪在2019至2022年间生产的QX50和2022款QX55车型。
美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）的召回报告指出，涉事车辆搭载的特定型号VC-Turbo发动机可能存在轴承制造缺陷。该监管机构警告称，此类缺陷可能导致发动机损坏，甚至在行驶过程中引发故障，从而增加碰撞风险。
美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）的召回报告指出，发动机轴承故障通常不会瞬间发生，而是会随时间推移逐渐恶化。这意味着受影响的驾驶员可能会注意到多个警示信号，包括异常噪音或故障指示灯亮起。
根据美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）文件，此次召回涉及美国443,899辆汽车。日产发言人周四向美联社证实，加拿大另有37,837辆汽车受影响。
美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHSTA）的召回报告指出，作为补救措施，日产和英菲尼迪经销商将检查这些被召回车辆的发动机油底壳，并在必要时维修或更换发动机。此次召回涉及搭载3缸1.5升或4缸2.0升VC-Turbo发动机的车型。可能的维修将免费进行，具体取决于发动机类型及检查过程中是否发现金属碎屑。
日产汽车在一份电子邮件声明中表示，此次召回行动是其“对客户安全持续承诺”的一部分。公司补充称，将于8月下旬向受影响的车主寄送通知函，“指导其将车辆送至日产或英菲尼迪经销商处进行必要检测和维修”。
在此期间，车主可通过美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）网站或日产汽车召回查询页面，确认其具体车型是否在本次召回范围内，并获取更多相关信息。
