Nissan filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Nov 2, 2023, received Dec 8, 2023, about the power train. It names 6 model years (2017–2019). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 6 model years this bulletin names have filed 1,106 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 279 of them name Power Train — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2017 Nissan Altima, the 64 owners who gave an odometer reading for Power Train reported it at a median of 68,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.

Then begins to only rev at a high RPM and not move forward so I automatically assume transmission and after further review of customer complaints and technical service bulletins, I realize that this has been a issue with…
2017 Nissan Altima · Power Train · filed with NHTSA Sep 30, 2018
I was coasting towards the traffic light wanting to make a left hand turn when the light turned yellow and I was already past the point where I could back up. I had to hit the gas pedal to make the turn in a quick fashion and beat the oncoming traffic. The car just puttered along and I almost got hit by the oncoming traffic.
2019 Nissan Sentra · Power Train · filed with NHTSA Jul 1, 2019
I have a 5 speed manual transmission that has a defective throwout bearing clutch assembly that 'sticks' and does not engage or release in a smooth manner. Each shift is 'jerky' when the clutch pedal is released and the power transfer from gear to gear is is a sudden jerk instead of a smooth continuation of acceleration.
2018 Nissan Versa · Power Train · filed with NHTSA Oct 29, 2021
A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Nissan REV1 Altima_Sent a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the REV1 Altima_Sent repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does REV1 Altima_Sent cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 6 model years: 2018 Nissan Altima, 2017 Nissan Altima, 2019 Nissan Sentra, 2018 Nissan Sentra, 2019 Nissan Versa, 2018 Nissan Versa. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
