CARS.COM — Nissan vehicles affected by service bulletin:

• 2014 Nissan Altima (four-cylinder engine)
• 2015 Nissan Altima (four-cylinder engine)
• 2014 Nissan Rogue
• 2015 Nissan Rogue
• 2016 Nissan Rogue

Does not apply to Rogue Select models.

The problem: The continuously variable automatic transmission may shake, shudder, bump or vibrate during normal operation in certain Nissan vehicles, including select Altimas and Rogues. This is due to either a faulty valve body inside the transmission or the CVT needing to be replaced.

Corrective action: Nissan dealers will either replace the transmission or the valve body inside it. If a new valve body is installed, a new oil pan with an additional magnet will also be installed to collect excess metal fragments that develop over time as a result of normal transmission operation.

Warranty info: This action will be done free of charge under this service campaign. Eligibility depends upon the vehicle’s identification number and whether certain codes are present in the drivetrain control module.
