Nissan Rogue Recalls

The Nissan Rogue has 74 recalls spanning 2008 through 2026, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2023-2025 models equipped with the 1.5L variable compression turbo engine, where oil breakdown can seize the engine bearings and cause sudden engine failure, cutting drive power and raising the risk of a fire.

The current generation carries a dense recall history. On 2024-2025 models with the 1.5L turbo engine, the gears inside the electronic throttle body can break and cause a loss of drive power. The 2024 model year also has a software defect where the rearview camera can display a blank screen when reversing, affecting SL and Platinum trims specifically, and a separate engine control software problem that can cause the same 1.5L turbo to lose power. Rearview camera failures extend to 2024-2025 models more broadly through a software error that blanks the display in reverse. The 2026 model has a gear position indicator that may not show on the instrument panel, which can lead to unintended vehicle movement, and some examples shipped with a mismatched spare tire.

The 2023 model year has several occupant safety issues: the driver's seat can separate from the seat frame in a crash due to broken welds at the rear bracket, rear seat belt anchor bolts may not be fully tightened, seat belt pretensioners for the driver and front passenger may not function in a crash, and the driver's airbag inflator can absorb moisture and deploy incorrectly. On 2021-2024 models with the variable compression turbo engine, bearing defects can cause engine failure and potentially breach the engine block, releasing hot oil that can ignite. The 2021 model year has additional issues: the fuel hose may not be properly secured and can leak or disconnect entirely causing a stall, incorrect wheel nuts can loosen and lead to wheel separation, rear brake calipers may be missing an internal bushing and leak brake fluid, and a second-row child seat tether anchor may not hold in a crash. The 2021-2022 model years share a rearview camera defect where the infotainment system can reboot continuously and leave the display blank while reversing.

Going back to the 2017-2019 Rogue Hybrid, the hydraulic brake booster can overheat and lose power assist, requiring significantly more pedal force to stop, and a wiring harness contact with the engine control module bracket can blow a fuse and stall the engine. The 2017 model year also has a water intrusion issue in the dash wiring harness that can corrode connectors and create a fire risk, even with the vehicle parked. On 2016-2017 models, rear seat recliner joint welds can be insufficient, compromising occupant restraint in a crash, and 2016 models have a similar weld defect in the front passenger seat frame. The passenger seat occupant sensor on 2014-2017 models can misclassify an occupant, causing the front airbag to deploy incorrectly or not at all. On 2014-2020 models equipped with a jackknife-style ignition key, the blade can fold inward while driving and accidentally shut the engine off, disabling power steering and power brakes simultaneously. The 2014-2016 model years have a wiring connector under the dash that corrodes from salt and water entering the driver's footwell, risking a fire and causing power window, seat, and all-wheel-drive system failures.
