FIRE RISK HALTS SALES OF SOME NISSAN VEHICLES
With reports of engine fires in some of its sedans, Nissan North America has told dealers to stop selling four-cylinder Altimas and Sentra SE-Rs made between January and mid-May. The move affects about 100,000 cars, it was reported. Neither the company nor the government has issued a safety recall, but Nissan said owners should regularly check oil levels as the fires are linked to excessive oil consumption. The company has extended the engine warranty on affected vehicles to seven years or 100,000 miles.
