Nissan Jukes generally have a turbocharged 1.6 Litter engine that uses a timing ++chain++. Some of the engines contained a defective timing chain that was covered by a Nissan factory recall. If you call Nissan with your VIN number they’ll tell you if yours contained the defective chain. Chain replacement for those not on the recall will vary depending on maintenance and driving conditions. A Nissan dealership can diagnose the amount of wear on the chain by listening for a pronounced, distinct rattle from the front of the engine. Don’t take chances. If the chain breaks it will destroy the engine.
