NISSAN ALMERA ( 01/07/1999 – 01/12/2002) DEFECT: The timing chain tensioner may become defective which can result in the timing chain jamming. Should this occur the engine may stall or fail to start. The condition may also result in the camshaft turning in a non-uniform fashion which could lead to the failure of the vacuum pump drive and a reduction in braking assistance.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the camshaft chain guide and tensioner replaced.
