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.
