Franklin, TN – August 12, 2025 – Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY), which owns the Infiniti brand, is recalling 443,899 vehicles whose engines may stall or catch fire. This defect ups the chances of a crash and serious injuries. 

The following models are affected:

Recall summary

A bearing is fitted between moving engine components where it reduces friction and makes their movement smoother. 

Due to a manufacturing error, engine bearings in the affected vehicles may disintegrate into metal shavings, which can lead to engine damage and cause it to stall. The failed bearing can also “breach the engine block,” resulting in an oil leak and a fire.

Recall risks

A stalled vehicle can get hit by oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of an injury.  A fire can greatly ups the risk of injury or loss of life.

Warning signs

Before it stalls, the engine might “run rough” and produce unusual knocking sounds. In addition, the failure may trigger a check engine light, accompanied by corresponding warning messages.

Nissan recalls new Pathfinder and Infiniti SUVs with faulty seat belts

Franklin, TN – March 26, 2024 – Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY), which owns the Infiniti brand, is recalling 12,019 SUVs because their seat belts may not “properly restrain” the driver in an accident. This ups the risk of injury.

The following models are affected by this recall: 

  • 2024 Nissan Pathfinder
  • 2024 Infiniti QX60

Recall summary

When there is a crash, the seat belt tightens against the occupant torso to prevent him from flying through the windshield. This is achieved thanks to the seat belt pretensioner, as reported.

The pretensioner in the affected cars is missing a metal pin used to hold it together. As a result, it may not work as intended.

Recall risks

If the driver is not properly restrained during a crash, he or she may suffer greater injuries.
