Nissan Stops Sales of Some Cars With Excessive Oil Consumption
Nissan said on Friday it had asked its dealers to stop selling certain 2006 model-year Altimas and Nissan Sentra SE-Rs cars due to reports of excessive oil consumption that could damage the engine or cause a fire.
About 100,000 Altimas and Sentra SE-Rs built between January and May 2006 may have the problem.
There have been about 215 reports of excessive oil consumption, mostly from rental-car fleets, and 17 reports of engine fires, resulting in one minor injury.
Nissan had extended the engine portion of the vehicles' warranty on Altimas and Sentra SE-Rs built during January to May 2006 to 84 months or 100,000 miles.
