-REVISED- 2002-2003 NISSAN ALTIMA, 2002-2004 SENTRA; VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN ENGINE EXHAUST PIPE HANGER PIN AND PRE-CATALYST
Nissan has determined that some 2002-2003 model year Altima and 2002-2004 model year Sentra vehicles equipped with the 2.5 liter engine have defects that relate to motor vehicle safety. For 2002-2003 model year Altimas, there is a possibility that the exhaust pipe hanger pin may catch debris from the road that could be ignited by contact with the catalytic converter and cause a fire. In addition, for 2002-2003 model year Altimas and 2002-2004 model year Sentras, there is a possibility that certain engine operating conditions may cause damage to the pre-catalyst. Material from inside a damaged pre-catalyst could enter the engine and result in increased oil consumption. If the engine oil level is not checked on a periodic basis and drops below the low level, and the driver continues to operate the vehicle ignoring noticeable engine noise, engine damage may occur which could result in a fire.

2003–2004 NISSAN ALTIMA AND SENTRA WITH QR25DE ENGINE; VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN CRANK ANGLE SENSOR / ECM REPROGRAMMING
Nissan has determined that on some 2003 – 2004 Altima and Sentra vehicles with the 2.5 liter engine the operation of the crank angle sensor is significantly affected by variations in temperature that occur due to the unique location of the sensor in the engine. Under certain driving conditions, these variations in temperature can be large enough to cause a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor. If the interruption in the signal from the sensor is so brief that the Electronic Control Module (ECM) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at low speed.

2003-2004 NISSAN SENTRA; VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN CATALYTIC CONVERTER/FRONT TUBE REPLACEMENT
Nissan has determined that on some 2003-2004 model year Nissan Sentra vehicles equipped with the 1.8 liter engine with California emissions, there is a possibility that the catalytic converter may have deteriorated excessively resulting in an increase in exhaust emissions. This may also result in the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in the instrument panel coming on. This incident has no effect on fuel consumption, driveability, performance, or safety. To prevent this condition from occurring, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Recall Campaign to replace the catalytic converter with a new one free of charge.

-REVISED- 2004 NISSAN SENTRA, 2004-2005 ALTIMA; VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN QR25DE POWER VALVE
Nissan has determined that on some 2004 model year Sentra and 2004-2005 model year Altima vehicles equipped with the 2.5 liter engine there is a possibility that power valve screws located in the intake manifold may become loose. If this occurs the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate and unstable engine idling or power loss may occur.
