The variable pressure motor in Nissan returns once. The so-called VC-Turbo uses a complex mechanism to allow for a low performance pressure rate, and a high pressure rate for the fuel consumption economy better. But reliability was a source of concern, which prompted Achieve NHTSAAnd now, a massive summons.
Carbos Our attention caught the summonsWhich covers 443,899 Nissan and Nviniti models listed below:
- 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50
- 2022 Infiniti Qx55
- 2021-2024 Nissan Rouge
- 2019-2020 April Altima
Infiniti models and some 2.0-liter Nissan VC-Turbo engine are used, while Rouge is a 1.5-liter 3.5-liter alternative. We also informed us beforeThe problem stems from endurance failure due to a defect in manufacturing in the “multiple correlation mechanism”, which varies the pressure rate. Nissan provided the engine -life manufacturing updates, which seem to have helped, if not completely solved, and therefore the latest Infiniti models, as well as the new Murano, are not covered in the recall. However, a large amount of engines remains.
For each NHTSA fileThe recall procedure is clear and direct, but it may prove painful for Nisan struggling. Merchants will examine the cars affected by the metal shaving. In the absence of a metal debris, it will replace engine oil in the four -cylinder cars, oil and cars in three cylinders. Three -cylinder models will also get a software update. But if there is a metal found in either the VC-Turbo engine, the traders will completely replace the engine if necessary.
Nissan said in the previous NHTSA file The failure of the failure of the VC-Turbo engines is very low, less than 1 %. But if there is a problem, this may lead to a catastrophic engine failure. Nissan can end with the replacement of thousands of engines. An endeavor to be expensive A company that aims to costs $ 3.4 billion over the next two years.
The paradox is that the VC-Turbo engine is unmatched on its promise to huge performance and fuel economy improvement. Nissan spent contracts to work on this engine, and finally do what many others could withdraw, but the variable pressure did not become part of the technology. Now, he is behind the curve on the hybrid and EVS, where he plays annex in a changing world with changing albatris hanging from his neck.
Nissan will send the summons of the clients on August 25, 2025.
