What This Recall Means

Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

What Happened
The crank angle sensor in your vehicle is like a smart watch that helps your engine run smoothly. In certain conditions, extreme temperatures can cause it to send mixed signals, which could disrupt your engine's performance.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sensor gets a mixed signal, your engine might suddenly stall while you're driving slowly, without warning. This could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a collision.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your authorized Nissan dealer will update your engine control module with the latest software, free of charge. You should schedule the reprogramming as soon as you get the recall notice.

Affected Vehicles
