The 2016 Nissan Altima is equipped with a timing chain, which is meant to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle if everything goes smoothly. However, there is still a possibility of damage or failure. If it does fail, you will likely experience immediate overheating. Replacing the timing chain would cost around $100 for the new part and another $100 for labor. Be careful when purchasing a replacement chain online, as some sellers may incorrectly label a timing belt as a cam belt, which will not be compatible with your vehicle.
