In owners' own words
The dealer broke the crankshaft when removing the main pulley bolt. Dealer/Nissan refused to provide financial help on repairs. *Bf *tc the consumer did some research and discovered numerous broken crankshafts. The manufacturer determined the cause to be initial tensile force set on the engine accessory belts during assembly, therefore a technical service bulletin was issued acknowledging the problem.
