Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / March 2008'02 Sentra recall for engine replacement?
I'm looking at a used Sentra SE-R 2002. The seller claims the engine was replaced 15,000 miles ago under a recall. My searching for a recall on the '02 Nissans doesn't show anything like that. It makes me wonder if I am being misled. Thoughts? Thanks, Craig yes there was, but not specifically for the engine. If I remember correctly it was for a pre cat issue that if not taken care of quickly, could cause the need to replace the engine. The dealer decided what was needed and would do what was necessary. 2002 only and 2.5 SE-R only. If I recall correctly... > I'm looking at a used Sentra SE-R 2002.

If I recall correctly... A dealer should be able to look up the VIN and check with the factory for you. If the dealer won't do it, call Nissan directly. >>yes there was, but not specifically for the engine. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > A dealer should be able to look up the VIN and check with the factory > for you.

If the dealer won't do it, call Nissan directly. If it's the 2.5 then it's the SE-R Spec V The SE-R had the 2.0 CD >>> yes there was, but not specifically for the engine. >>> If I remember correctly it was for a pre cat issue that if not taken care of [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > CD All 2002 SE-R's had 2.5's, The SR20s were dropped after 2001 for the QR25DE as were the 1.6 liter Ga16de in the base Sentras for the 1.8 liter QG18DE engine. And yes the 2002 had a healthy appetite for injesting throttle plate screws, and many engines were replaced due to this problem. Thanks to all for the input. This is the SE-R model. I'll check out the www.nissanhelp.com website.

My bad. Thanks for the correction.

SignatureJim Yanik jyanik at kua.net I bought a 2002 Sentra SE-R. I still own it. It never had a engine recall. like another poster said there was a recall on a part. That if the part was not replaced it could do damadge to the engine. So if the seller of that car replaced the engine, he is not telling you all he knows. ed322@webtv.net (Ed) wrote in news:17563-47DD4B41-60@storefull- 3274.bay.webtv.net: > I bought a 2002 Sentra SE-R.
