Unfortunately, I lost the battle. After speaking to some mechanics, I realized it would be very difficult to prove that their recall didn't fix the original defect, hence the engine being shot. I frankly don't have the time or money to move forward with a lawsuit individually.
I looked at my options; New Car, Pre-owned, or new engine on a mint condition altima for 5k. I went with the new engine.
