Nissan Recalls More Than 140500 Altima Sedans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nissan is recalling more than 140,000 of its popular Altima sedans to replace air filters that could catch fire, company officials said.

The voluntary recall affects 2007 Altimas with four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engines produced between September 2006 and May 2007 at Nissan’s Smyrna plant and between October 2006 and May 2007 at its Canton, Miss., plant.

Four engine-compartment fires in February and March prompted Nissan to start an investigation, according to Nissan’s report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
