I know this from talking with master mechanics at various Infiniti dealerships.. also having close friends who work at the dealerships, helps..
^ 6 cars between March - June, were waiting on engine replacements... can't be a fluke. and when they check for OC, its supposedly similar to the amount seen with the Revup Motors.

Question:
-How would you fix a leak, when the problem with the revups were supposedly caused by valve overlap.. This overlap created a vacuum which would suck the oil via the guides and out the exhaust.
So how do you fix an inherent flaw in the design?
Do you think Nissan is going to issue a massive recall and loose millions?

I hope my information was somehow limited to those vehicles that I heard of.. but I would not hold my breath.
