The crankshaft position sensor is a key part that helps your engine's computer understand how fast your engine is spinning. In some 2006 Altima models with a 2.5L engine, this sensor can get too hot and briefly stop sending the right signals.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your engine could suddenly shut off while you're driving at a slow speed, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will reprogram your engine's computer to fix the issue for free. Just schedule an appointment when you receive the recall notice.
