Recall 07V-527: 2002, 2005–2006 Nissan Altima, 2002, 2005–2006 Nissan Sentra
NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Nov 14, 2007, covering about 653,910 vehicles.
The problem
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2.5l engine, the crankshaft position sensor can overheat causing a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor.
The risk
If the interruption in the signal from the crankshaft position sensor is so brief that the electronic control module (Ecm) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will reprogram the ECM free of charge. Certain my 2006 altimas which have been previously remedied under recall campaign 06v223 (Nissan r0606) are not included in this recall since the reprogramming for 06v223 also included this reprogramming. The recall began on december 31, 2007. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
