**NEW YORK, NY –** Nissan is recalling approximately 443,900 vehicles in the United States and over 37,800 in Canada across several Nissan and Infiniti models due to a potential engine defect, the company announced this week. The recall affects vehicles equipped with either a 3-cylinder 1.5-liter or a 4-cylinder 2.0-liter variable compression turbo engine.

According to a recall report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the engine bearings within the affected vehicles may have a manufacturing defect that could lead to engine damage and, in severe cases, engine failure.

The models impacted by the recall include the 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue, 2019-2020 Nissan Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50, and 2022 Infiniti QX55.

Drivers of affected vehicles may experience symptoms such as abnormal engine noise, rough running, malfunction indicator lights, or warning messages on the instrument cluster.

“This recall is part of Nissan Group’s ongoing commitment to customer safety,” the automaker said in a statement to FOX Business.

Nissan will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles on August 22, 2025. Owners will be instructed to bring their vehicle to a Nissan or Infiniti dealership for a free inspection and repair. Depending on the findings, repairs may include an oil pan gasket and engine oil replacement, engine control module reprogramming, or, in more serious cases, a complete engine replacement. All repairs will be performed free of charge.

Consumers can contact their local Nissan or Infiniti dealership for more information or visit the NHTSA website to check if their vehicle is affected by the recall.
