💥 Crash riskNHTSA 07V527📅 Nov 15, 2007

2002, 2005–2006 Nissan Altima & 2002, 2005–2006 Nissan Sentra recall: engine

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2.5L engine, the crankshaft position sensor CAN overheat causing a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor.

💥 The risk

If the interruption in the signal from the crankshaft position sensor is so brief that the electronic control module (ECM) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will reprogram the ECM free of charge. Certain my 2006 altimas which have been previously remedied under recall campaign 06V223 (nissan R0606) are not included in this recall since the reprogramming for 06V223 also included this reprogramming. The recall began on december 31, 2007. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
