2024–2025 Nissan Rogue Throttle Body Recall: 318K Vehicles

A single critical-tier recall has swept up nearly 319,000 examples of the 2024 and 2025 Nissan Rogue, making it one of the more consequential fuel-system actions to emerge from the current model generation. The defect centers on the electronic throttle body assembly fitted to the 3-cylinder 1.5-liter VC-Turbo engine, where internal gears can fracture under operation.
Nissan North America filed the recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on February 11, 2026. At 318,782 affected vehicles, the campaign reflects how broadly the VC-Turbo powertrain has been deployed across the Rogue lineup in these two model years.

What the defect involves
The 3-cylinder 1.5-liter variable compression turbo engine in the affected Rogues uses an electronic throttle body to regulate airflow into the engine. Inside that assembly, a set of small gears translates commands from the engine control module into physical movement of the throttle plate. NHTSA's recall documentation states that those gears may break.
When the gears fracture, the throttle body loses the ability to respond to driver inputs. The result is a loss of drive power at a moment when the driver expects the vehicle to accelerate or maintain speed.
Why NHTSA rates this recall as critical
NHTSA assigns a critical severity tier when a defect creates conditions with meaningful potential to cause a crash. In this case, an unexpected and uncontrolled loss of drive power while merging, crossing an intersection, or traveling at highway speeds places the vehicle and its occupants in a hazardous situation. The throttle body failure does not require a preceding warning, which limits the driver's ability to anticipate or react.
