Summary
The Nissan Rogue has 64 recalls spanning 2008 through 2026, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2023–2025 models equipped with the 1.5L turbocharged three-cylinder engine, where oil breakdown can seize the engine bearings and cause complete engine failure, resulting in sudden loss of drive power.
On the same 1.5L engine in 2024–2025 models, the gears inside the electronic throttle body can break, also cutting power to the wheels. A separate software fault on 2024 models can cause the electronic throttle control to fail and drop power. For 2023 models with that engine, internal engine damage can develop alongside a warning light, and continued driving risks both power loss and fire. Rear seat belt anchor fasteners and front seat belt pretensioners on 2023 models may have been improperly tightened or assembled, leaving rear- and front-seat occupants less protected in a crash. The 2022 model year has two fuel tank concerns: manufacturing errors left some tanks with walls too thin to resist road debris, and others may have been punctured during production, both of which can lead to fuel leaks and fire. On 2021 models, incorrectly sized wheel nuts can loosen and eventually break the wheel studs, allowing a wheel to separate from the vehicle. That same year also has improperly secured fuel hoses that can leak or disconnect entirely, rear brake calipers missing internal bushings that allow brake fluid to leak and reduce stopping power, a fuel pump prone to abnormal wear and overheating, rear seat belt retractors that may not retract properly, and child seat tether anchors with inadequate welds that can pull free in a crash.
The 2017–2019 Rogue Hybrid has two distinct issues: an engine harness that contacts a bracket, blows a fuse, and can stall the engine, and a hydraulic brake booster that can overheat internally and leave the driver with a noticeably heavier brake pedal and longer stopping distances. On 2017 models, water can seep into the dashboard wiring harness connector and cause a short circuit capable of starting a fire even when the vehicle is parked. Also on 2017 models, the automatic emergency braking system can trigger unnecessarily near metal structures like railroad crossings, stopping the vehicle without warning.
Going back to 2016–2017, rear seat recliner joints with inadequate welds can collapse in a crash, and 2016 models additionally have front passenger seat frames with weld defects that compromise head restraint and seat structure performance. On 2014–2016 models, the rear liftgate support stays can corrode, snap, and drop suddenly onto anyone nearby. The 2014–2016 under-dash wiring harness connector is vulnerable to water and salt intrusion from the driver's footwell, leading to electrical shorts, drained batteries, and fire risk. The jackknife-style ignition key on 2014–2020 models can fold partway while in the ignition and get bumped by the driver's knee, cutting the engine, disabling power steering, and disabling power brakes without warning. The 2014 model has a cluster of fuel pump failures from contaminated internal components that can stall the engine with no restart possible, and a steering intermediate shaft secured with an incorrect bolt that can loosen and cause complete loss of steering. The 2014 model also has a wheel where lug nuts may not have been torqued, allowing separation.
