NEWS:
Nissan is recalling 14,700 Nissan and
Infiniti vehicles; Engine oil leak
DECEMBER
2011
-- Nissan is recalling certain model year
2011 Infiniti FX, model year 2012 Infiniti
M, model year 2011-2012 Nissan frontier,
model year 2011-2012 Nissan Xterra, model
year 2011-2012 Nissan pathfinder, and model
year 2012 Nissan NV vehicles. Some of the
bolts that connect the engine oil cooler and
the engine oil filter to the engine in these
vehicles may have been manufactured to below
specification strength. As a result, the
bolt may break at the oil filter attachment
point and can cause an engine oil leak. If
there is an engine oil leak, the engine oil
pressure would drop and the engine could
seize, increasing the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will
replace the connector bolts free of charge.
The safety recall is expected to begin on or
about January 19, 2012. Owners may also
contact the national highway traffic safety
administration's vehicle safety hotline at
1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go
