Engine / equipment: Nissan Qashqai I 1.5 dCi (with other Nissan models)
Period mentioned: Recall running since early 2014
Symptoms: The engine stops suddenly if the belt breaks, with a risk of dangerous situations depending on traffic.
Possible cause described: According to the ADAC, the fixing and alignment of the high-pressure pump pulley is not exact; so the timing belt runs at an angle, wears early and can break, and the engine then stops suddenly. Dealers realign the pump and check the belt: one hour and free. In Germany it covered 1,447 cars (with other models).
Check for the garage: Ask Nissan by VIN whether it was done and ask a garage to check the state of the timing belt and the pump.
Cost cited in the source: Free under the recall.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
