Nissan recalling 700,000 Altimas and Sentras
The recall is related to problems with an internal sensor that could potentially lead to engine stalling, according to Nissan.
No injuries have been reported in connection with the issue, but concerns the problem could cause engines to simply stop running with no warning while the car is being driven at low speeds were enough to prompt the large recall.
Nissan says Altima and Sentra owners should take their cars to dealers to reprogram the ECU -electronic control module. The recall affects those models made in 2002, 2005 and 2006 equipped with a 2.5-litre engine.
