The
U.S. Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has opened a
preliminary evaluation into Nissan Rogue, Altima and Infiniti
Qx50 vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration said, adding a total of six complaints were
received regarding the issue.
Vehicle owners reported engine failures, a loss of power, engine
knocking noises, metal chunks and shavings found in the oil pan
of certain vehicles equipped with the KR15DDT and KR20DDET
engines, ODI said.
The Japanese automaker has looked to address main bearing and
L-link damage or seizures on the engines by introducing multiple
manufacturing process changes over time, the regulator said.
The investigation may be expanded if needed, ODI said.
