New recall about bearings T31 Diesel
Good Morning All,
It's 11am here in Ireland and in the post this morning I received a recall notice from Nissan Ireland. It states....
"Our ongoing quality monitoring has identified a concern related to premature engine bearing wear for the 2.0 litre diesel engine used on some X-Trail (T31). I am writing to let you know that your vehicle falls within the range of potentially affected vehicles.
Nissan has identified that in a small number of cases when operating under a high load, high engine speed and severe driving conditions, the engine bearings may wear.
IT IS NECESSARY THAT YOU CONTACT A NISSAN AUTHORISED REPAIRER AND ARRANGE FOR INSPECTION AND RECTIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
This repair will of course be carried out free of charge for you. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you, but the safety of you, our customer, is of paramount importance to Nissan Ireland. We hope you understand the necessity of this action."
I'll be calling to the dealership some day this week so I will post an update after that.
George.
T31 M9R year 2008 with just 270,000kms.

Re:
George,
Did the letter specify what engine numbers were affected, I'm only asking because I've spun a bottom end bearing in my 2008 diesel t31 2 weeks ago which resulted in a replacement motor.one had only done 155,000 and serviced regularly by nissan up until 140,000.
The boost controller was found to be faulty and overnboosted the turbo, leading to bearing wear (it was completely chewed through the motor).

Re:
If it's not the recall section it means Nissan Australia didn't issue a recall for it locally and it was limited to the diesels overseas. They're being assembled in 3-4 different factories (depending on geographical location and target market), so not all recalls affect every manufacturing line.
