25V437000·ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:HARD PARTS INTERNAL/MECHANICAL2025-06-27

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Rogue, 2019-2020 Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50, and 2022 Infiniti QX55 vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines.
