FRANKLIN, Tennessee: Hundreds of thousands of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles are being recalled across the United States due to a potential engine defect that could lead to sudden failure, according to federal safety regulators.

On July 2, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Nissan is recalling 443,899 vehicles because of a manufacturing issue that could cause engine damage or total failure, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall affects specific model years of the Nissan Rogue, Altima, Infiniti QX50, and Infiniti QX55, the NHTSA report said. Nissan estimates that 1.2 percent of all recalled vehicles contain the defect.

The company identified a flaw in some engine components that may have been improperly manufactured, raising concerns about long-term reliability and safety.

Drivers of the affected models are expected to be notified and instructed on how to proceed with inspection or repairs. No injuries or crashes linked to the defect were reported at the time of the announcement.
