Nissan Corporate has opened Case#57208422 but is refusing to remedy the safety defect because they claim the recall paperwork was previously closed. I received a recall notice and took my 2019 Nissan Altima 2.0 VC Turbo to Whites Auto Mall in Hopkinsville, KY on May 15 2026 to have it checked. The recall was a the federal safety agency Safety Recall Campaign 25V437 (VC-Turbo Engine Failure). They checked the car and i was told they didn't see any metal shavings in the oil pan and that it would not be covered because of the title was "Branded". Just recently been having code P11AB to appear in the car and it goes in to limp mode. I took the car to a mechanic he said it had metal shavings in the oil/oil pan and this was and this was directly pointed to the recall. I called Nissan Customer Affairs and started Case#57208422 and they told me it was not covered since the recall had been done and it was closed. I told them that the federal safety agency mandates that the recall needs to be fixed and that it is a "Safety Recall" that is a safety concern. I am reaching out for help of resolving this issue and having Nissan to stand behind this Safety Recall.

My vehicle was taking to the dealership for an inspection for the nissan engine recall. During the inspection metal was found in my oil pan which the recall states they must repair or replace engine if any metal is found. I was told the engine would be replaced on 11/15/2025 but 2 days later 11/17/2025 I was contacted saying nissan denied my recall repair and to come back and pickup my vehicle. The recall states if any metal is found they must replace the engine but nissan refuse to fix the issue. The report they showed me Saturday stated oil was in my oil pan but now since they denied the recall the report was changed to nothing was found in oil pan. I notied the manager and after I mentioned that to the service manager they changed the report again stating metal was found.

the federal safety agency Online Complaint Vehicle: 2019 Nissan Altima VIN: [XXX] Recall: R25B1 (the federal safety agency Recall No. 25V‑437) Description of the Problem: My vehicle is affected by recall R25B1 (the federal safety agency Recall No. 25V‑437) related to potential bearing failures in the 2.0L VC-Turbo engine. Nissan announced this recall on June 26, 2025, but the status remains “Incomplete – remedy not yet available.” I have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and local dealerships several times, but they confirmed that there is no repair or parts available. Due to this unresolved safety recall, my state’s DMV has refused to register my vehicle, meaning I cannot legally operate it. This delay has caused significant hardship and prevents me from using my vehicle, even though the recall involves a critical safety risk (potential engine failure while driving). I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate this issue and require Nissan to expedite a remedy for recall R25B1. I need a car urgently to drive to work.
