Description of the problem	There is currently a emission recall campaign for the 2010 nissian altima (csc-10043941-7009)(ntb12-040d safety recall campaign) - unfortunately it apparently doesn't include my vin # although my vehicle demonstrates the identical issues that the recall covers. Catalytic converter defective due to improperly calibrated engine control module (ecm) that may incorrectly detect engine valve closure as engine knock. The ecm will increase the fuel flow to compensate this false reading which in turns causes the catalytic converter to over heat. Catalytic converter was replace 7/14/2014 at 105000 miles - in 9/08/2015 it was replaced again 122000 miles (15000 miles) - currently having ecm reprogrammed with updated software at customer cost - this issue needs to be addressed since it's a federal law enforcement issue (automobile emissions) - this is a manufacture defect.
