Nissan is recalling more than 480,000 of its vehicles across the U.S. and Canada due to potential manufacturing defects that could cause engine failure.
The recall covers certain Nissan Rogues between 2021-2024 model years and 2019-2020 Altimas — as well as a number of 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50s and 2022 Infiniti QX55s sold under the automaker’s luxury brand,according to Nissan and documents published by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration this week.
The vehicles impacted carry specific “VC-Turbo” engines that may have manufacturing defects in their bearings, the NHTSA’s recall report notes.

What a legendary collapse

What is it with manufacturers and engines? First Hyundai, then Toyota, GMC and now Nissan.

Don't they have a wifi bearing chip software upgrade they can do?

They are trying meet the ridiculous CAFE requirements

Short answer - fuel economy and emissions standards.
Wait till 2027. Its going to get even worse!!!

Saw a good point in an earlier car thread.
Lack of QA/QC and supply chain issues during covid probably had an impact.

Emission standards have made modern combinations engines overly complicated.

Funny enough if the 1.5L engine has a sump devoid of metallic debris it gets a new sump gasket, fresh oil, and an ECM reprogram. The 2L just gets fresh oil.

QA and QC are better than ever in most regards. Supply chain is a problem, but not the main one. The main one is all the stupid design concessions you must make to hit the ridiculous fuel economy and emissions standards now.
The bulk of these issues are due to auto start/stop, variable displacement oil pumps, low viscosity oil, and generally complex engine mechanics.
A simple naturally aspirated pushrod engine with no ridiculous emissions or fuel economy targets could be made cheaper and better than ever right now, and would last literally forever with minor care. You just simply cannot legally sell that in the USA today, so it doesnt exist here. Thank your government and particularly California for all this shite.

It's hard to make a reliable engine when CAFE Standards are driving your production requirements.
Blame your government. Not the manufacturer.

Really not the case here, it is improperly manufactured bearings. One could make the argument that higher cylinder pressures usually seen in FI engines were the cause, but it is easy to engineer bearings to take the extra pressures.

It looked like all the other spam shite you get so I threw it away not thinking anything of it. Engine goes a couple years later. I bring it in to the shop and they tell me it’s a part of the recall and should be covered as long as I had oil change records which I did. A day later I get a call from the Hyundai dealer that corporate denied it because I didn’t have their stupid update done that didn’t even prevent the engine blow from happening. It just put the car in “limp home” mode so you can get somewhere safe to take it to the shop. I was fricking furious. The shop guy was actually legitimately pissed for me. Just maddening. Only reason I even know they sent a letter is because I contacted the lawyer involved with the class action (plaintiff lawyer) and they had record of them sending me one. He was super apologetic but basically told me there was nothing I could do.
First Hyundai
From what I understand the outsourced their engines which effected QC and caused the issues. After everything came to light they supposedly went back to doing things in house

Nissan hasn't made quality stuff since about 2000
The combination of government and joining with Renault killed them.

Life was better when we had lead bearings.

If a manufacturer would just make a solid vehicle with ac, and not all the electronic shite like they do now, the cost of insurance would drop tremendously. The cost to repair wrecks with engine and electronic damage is one reason rates are so damn high.

I always thought the engine failures were due to poor people not keeping up with their maintenance

You still find cast lead/Cu bearings in some applications, but in general, the modern Al/Sn, and bronze outperform them, especially when coupled with graphite/moly coatings. Note all of these are multi-layer in con and crank bearings, as homogeneous material bearings haven't been around for a long long time, probably since the start of the addition of a Babbitt layer.

Something similar happened to my daughter. Despite acknowledging design failures in engines before and after their year, they would not take responsibility for the crappy engine in her car. She had them put in a reconditioned engine, but failed their tests. So, they installed another reconditioned engine. It too failed their tests. The third one passed the tests, I just hope it runs at least until she can get a different vehicle.
