CONSUMER ALERT: Nissan has announced a significant recall affecting its VC-Turbo engines, impacting over 480,000 vehicles. The recall addresses potential engine failures that could pose serious risks to Nissan drivers.
Starting August 25th, 2025, owners should expect an owner notification letter from Nissan.
What Should I do?
If you receive an owner notification letter from Nissan, stay alert. This recall has the potential to turn into a class action lawsuit. For now, Nissan Altima, Nissan Rogue, and Infiniti car owners should look out for this letter and be ready to have their vehicle assessed and repaired.
Under California lemon law, if an owner has taken their Nissan Altima, Nissan Rogue, Infiniti QX50, or Infiniti QX55 in for a “reasonable amount of attempts” for repair, they can file a lemon law claim. If you live and drive in Los Angeles, you deserve a reliable car to get you from Point A to Point B. Contact us today if you believe you have made enough repair attempts for your vehicle.
Details of the Nissan Turbo Engine Recall
This recall stems from reports of engine failures in vehicles equipped with the VC-Turbo engine. The issue has been linked to a specific component failure, which causes the engine to stall while driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has noted that the affected vehicles may exhibit warning lights prior to an engine stoppage, offering a brief alert to drivers.
If you notice that your Nissan or Infiniti is continuously experiencing these issues, it’s best to contact the dealer immediately and have your car serviced. According to the recall notice, Nissan is committed to resolving these issues at no cost to the vehicle owners. However, after a reasonable number of repair attempts have been made, you may have grounds to file a CA lemon law claim.
The Recall Process and Steps for Vehicle Owners
Starting August 25th, Nissan will begin mailing owner notification letters to inform vehicle owners of the recall. These letters will provide detailed instructions on how to proceed, including contacting authorized Nissan dealerships to schedule necessary repairs.
Los Angeles Nissan owners should ensure their contact information is current to receive these timely notifications. Once a vehicle is identified as part of the recall, scheduling a service appointment promptly is critical to address the defect and avoid potential hazards.
Certified technicians typically perform the repairs, which can take a few hours or days, depending on dealership capacity and parts availability.
If you are facing constant setbacks with repairs and are still experiencing issues with your car, contact us today to discuss your situation. You may have the opportunity to start a lemon law claim for your Nissan vehicle.

What damages may I be entitled to?
A buyback is the repurchase of your lemon by the automaker. It occurs when a new, leased, or CPO car or truck qualifies as lemon and the automaker pays you back the money you spent on the vehicle, less a money offset for the miles used up to the first repair. The formula for a buyback is provided by the law.
In addition, related costs, called incidental and consequential damages, may be added to the buyback. To make sure you are getting the full value of a buyback offer, you should contact us for a free evaluation.
