In the United States, there are no recalls for the Nissan X-Trail crankshaft sensor. The location of the crankshaft position sensor varies depending on the make and model of the car, but it is always positioned near the crankshaft itself. If you need to replace the sensor, expect to pay between $190 and $300 for the part, plus an additional $200 for installation labor. The sensor plays a crucial role in ensuring the crankshaft rotates at the correct speed. If the sensor malfunctions, you may experience issues such as stalling, shaking, rough acceleration, and the illumination of the check engine light. These symptoms indicate that the engine timing is off, leading to poor performance. Moreover, neglecting this problem can strain the engine and potentially cause further damage and expenses down the line.
Nissan Xtrails in Australia are being recalled to swap out a defective crankshaft sensor that might lead to the engine suddenly turning off.
