Recalls
Deferred Failure RiskComponents and defects approaching or past their known service milestones
48/100
Warning Deferred Risk
4 maintenance items are approaching or past their service milestones. Address these before purchase or negotiate the cost into the sale price.
⚠No odometer data on record. Mileage is estimated at ~84,000 mi based on average annual driving. Items marked EST. OVERDUE may already be due — verify service history with the seller. Items marked OVERDUE are confirmed past-due based on vehicle age alone.
MONITORCriticalTiming Chain Tensioner
Service interval: 120,000 mi · Est. ~84,000 mi (no odometer on record)
Schedule Timing Chain Tensioner service before 120,000 mi
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
DUE SOONCriticalWater Pump
Service interval: 100,000 mi · Est. ~84,000 mi (no odometer on record)
Schedule Water Pump service before 100,000 mi
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
EST. OVERDUEHighTransmission Fluid / Service
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 7 yr · Past due by age
Service Transmission Fluid / Service immediately — already past the 60,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
EST. OVERDUEHighCoolant Flush
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 7 yr · Past due by age
Service Coolant Flush immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
DUE SOONModerateSpark Plugs (iridium/platinum)
Service interval: 100,000 mi · Est. ~84,000 mi (no odometer on record)
Schedule Spark Plugs (iridium/platinum) service before 100,000 mi
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
MONITORModerateFuel Injectors
Service interval: 120,000 mi · Est. ~84,000 mi (no odometer on record)
Schedule Fuel Injectors service before 120,000 mi
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.

ODI #11483598VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Car exhibits behavior detailed in Nissan TSB with classification EC19-011, reference number NTB19-018. Lack of power after engine cold soak. After engine sits for days, or even hours, upon startup, the accelerator is limited to about 5mph and 1500-2000 rpm. Very slow. It does this for about 10 seconds of forward movement with pedal beyond the 5mph threshold, then returns to everything performing like normal. 10 seconds of sitting idle doesn't do it. Unfortunately, those first 10 seconds are usually when pulling out into traffic from a parking lot. Whether from my house, my garage, or from work, it's done this in all these places. Not shopping because the engine doesn't cool down during that time. It did this since new but has become more regular over time. My car is a well cared for summer driver, not driven hard, and only has 6200 miles. Others on Facebook have mentioned this same issue, and the fact that there is a TSB issued says Nissan is aware of the problem, but doesn't consider it a safety risk. I can't tell you how many times I pull into traffic around a blind corner, and someone nearly T-bones me because I'm creeping in front of them. Imagine going from 45mph to 5mph, they're pissed because they think I cut them off, then I go 5mph for 5 more seconds to rub it in. I will get hit one of these days. This is clearly a product quality problem since the resolution in the TSB is to reprogram the ECU, and the risk to safety is existential. If I do get hit, I'd consider a lawsuit in light of the TSB. For the record, I contacted the dealer and also Nissan North America and they both referred me to each other, refusing to cover the reprogramming repair. With or without warranty, this should be recalled and fixed. Seems like only 2019's so far.
