Does the Nissan Juke have an interference engine?
After buying a 2011 Nissan Juke the timing belt snapped at 69 thousand miles. Since this is an “interference” type motor, if the timing belt breaks while car is driving(which is when cars timing belts actually break) it renders the engine useless. It bends the valves and when that happens the engine has to be replaced.
Is there a recall on the Nissan Juke?
Nissan is conducting a voluntary service campaign on MY2011-13 Nissan JUKE vehicles to have the engine timing chain replaced.
Are there any recalls on Nissan Juke timing chains?
Others say the chains are weak and prone to stretching. In May 2014, Nissan issued a timing chain service campaign for 104,000 JUKE subcompacts. The automaker wouldn’t call it a recall, however, because they said they “caught it” before it became a safety concern.
What kind of engine does a Nissan Juke have?
Nissan Jukes generally have a turbocharged 1.6 Litter engine that uses a timing chain. Some of the engines (2011 – 2013) contained a defective timing chain that was covered by a Nissan factory recall.
Is there a recall on the Nissan sprocket?
As part of the campaign every 2011-2013 owner affected got a new chain guide, crank sprocket, and timing chain. Owners without JUKES have taken their issues to the courts. Multiple lawsuits have pointed to previous Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) as evidence that Nissan knows about the defect, but refuses to notify owners or issue a recall.
