I received a notice in the mail today that a Class Action Lawsuit against Nissan has been filed for the Timing Chain issue. This is for several Nissan makes, but for the Frontier only 2005-2007. Search the posts for more background on the Timing Chain Guides issue.

Edit: the Class Action is for California and Washington only with V6 engines.

Here is a link to the information that I received today: Falco v Nissan North America

The hearing date is in Oct 2017.

I have an 07 and my chain just started whining a few months ago at 70K mile.

Thanks EXPLORERMAN. You are correct. CA and WA states only. I added that important tidbit to the original post. V6 engine only too.

I received the Notice of Proposed Settlement in the mail today. To JRoc's question - the document states that the vehicle had to be purchased or leased in California or Washington.

In a nutshell if the vehicle mileage at the time of repair has:

• less than 80K - up to $720 or a $1500 voucher for a new car
• 80K - 100K - up to $450 or $1000 voucher
• 100K+ - up to $180 or $500 voucher
