Nissan fears Altima, Sentra fires; low-sulfur diesel arrives
By AUTOMOTIVE NEWS
AutoWeek | Published 06/05/06, 9:35 am et
LOS ANGELES -- Nissan North America Inc. has told its dealers to (Stop Selling) 2006 four-cylinder Altimas and Nissan Sentra SE-Rs assembled between January and May of this year because of a chance of engine fires.
The company is investigating reports that the vehicles consume more oil than usual. About 100,000 vehicles are affected. The company has received about 215 reports of excessive oil use and 17 reports of engine fires. There has been one injury.
The company has extended the engine warranty on the two models to 84 months or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Low-sulfur diesel arrives
WASHINGTON -- A barrier to expanded sales of diesel-powered vehicles in the United States fell last week.
A federal rule that took effect Thursday, June 1, requires refineries to remove nearly all the sulfur from most of the diesel fuel they produce for highway use. The new limit is 15 parts per million, down from 500. The ultralow-sulfur fuel must represent at least 80 percent of sales of diesel fuel at filling stations beginning Oct. 15. -HARRY STOFFER
