Nissan recalling Altima's and Sentra's

Nissan North America Inc. said Thursday it was recalling 97,000 Altima and Sentra vehicles after reports of excessive oil consumption and engine fires led the automaker to stop selling the vehicles.

Nissan said some 2006 sedans with 2.5 liter engines could quickly consume oil, potentially damaging the engine and leading to engine fires.

A date for the recall has not been announced. Owners can call Nissan at (800) 647-7261.

Here I go making fun of the toyotas for their recalls. That kicked me right in the butt. It doesn't concern me though becuase i have the 4.0 liter engine in my frontier.
