LOS ANGELES - Nissan North America could face a hefty price tag to remedy a recall of 96,800 2006 Nissan Altimas and Sentras, which may consume an inordinate amount of oil and cause engine fires.
In a June 16 letter from Brad Bradshaw, Nissan's incoming senior vice president for sales and marketing, the company told dealers that it would pick up vehicles from dealer inventories, transfer them to Nissan facilities for inspection, and return them after inspection and repair.
"We have not made a blanket statement that we will replace all the engines, but we are saying we will make the customer satisfied - whatever it takes," said Nissan spokesman Fred Standish in Nashville. "Fix it, repair it, replace it - whatever is necessary."
