Nissan & Infiniti Recall
Nissan Recall
In June 2025, Nissan issued a significant recall affecting nearly 455,000 vehicles after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched a probe into engine failures that resulted in sudden power loss and even potential fire hazards. The investigation, which began in December 2023, has now been closed following Nissan’s recall and commitment to address the defect. But what does this mean for California drivers?
Let’s break it down—and explain how California’s Lemon Law may offer additional protection if you’re stuck with a defective Nissan.
What Was the Issue?
In a recall notice posted with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Nissan said it had identified bearing failures in certain vehicles. Nissan is recalling 443,899 vehicles in the U.S., the notice shows. In Canada, 37,837 are affected.
The recall affects certain of the following models with 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo engines:
2019-2020 Altima
2019-2022 Infiniti QX50
2021-2024 Rogue
2022 Infiniti QX55
Why This Matters to California Car Owners
While the recall and warranty extension provide some relief, California consumers may still be entitled to more under the state's Lemon Law. If your Nissan has been in the shop multiple times for the same issue, or if the problem significantly impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety, you might be eligible for:
A buyback or replacement
Reimbursement for repair costs and registration fees
Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer
Under the California Lemon Law (Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act), your rights often go beyond what a recall or warranty alone provides.
Do You Have a Lemon?
If you’ve experienced:
Repeated engine problems, stalling, or fire risk
Extended time at the dealership
Ongoing performance or safety issues despite repair attempts
…you may qualify for relief under the California Lemon Law—even if your car is still under warranty or covered by the recent recall.
What You Should Do Now
Document Everything – Keep records of every repair, dealer visit, and communication with Nissan.
Know Your Rights – Don’t assume the recall fixes everything. You could be owed far more.
Contact a Lemon Law Attorney – The sooner you speak with a qualified attorney, the better your chances of a successful claim.
