Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.
An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 ROGUE VEHICLES. A SCREW IN THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING COVER MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME AND COULD FALL OUT. AS IT LOOSENS, THE STEERING RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE COMPROMISED BUT THE DRIVER WILL RETAIN STEERING CONTROL.
THE SCREW MAY EVENTUALLY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR COVER. IF LARGE STEERING INPUTS ARE MADE WITH THE COVER SCREW MISSING THE PINION SHAFT MAY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT WHETHER THE STEERING GEAR COVER SCREW IS LOOSE AND WILL BE RETIGHTENED TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATION. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL A COVER PLATE TO PREVENT THE SCREW FROM POSSIBLY COMING OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Tires, pressure monitoring and regulating systemsOct 5, 2009
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2010 VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WASHINGTON D.C., WEST VIRGINIA AND WISCONSIN. THE MATERIAL IN THE NUT USED TO SECURE THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) MAY CORRODE AND POTENTIALLY CRACK IN AREAS WITH HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS OF ROAD SALT. IF THIS OCCURS, THE NUT MAY COME OUT OF THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER AND THE TPMS LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE.
IF THE TPMS LAMP IS DISREGARDED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE DRIVEN IN THIS CONDITION, THE TIRE WILL QUICKLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE AT A CONSISTENT RATE RESULTING IN A FLAT TIRE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE TPMS NUT WITH A NEW, MORE ROBUST NUT. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 9, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 AND INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU).
THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL TEST THE SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND ACU SYSTEMS USING A SPECIAL TOOL TO CHECK THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. IF NECESSARY, THE SEAT CUSHION (CONTAINING OCS HARDWARE) WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 4, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

I HAVE BEEN REQUESTING NISSAN REPLACE THE SEAT CUSHION IN MY ROGUE SINCE THEY INSPECTED IT IN 2015. THEY HAVE REFUSED. NOW I SEE THERE IS A RECALL, AIR BAG OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS), AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED AND DO NOT SEE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS!!!!! I NEEDS MY SEAT CUSHION REPLACED, OR THE AIR BAG SENSOR WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG IN A COLLISION. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE AIRBAG, OR AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT, FIXED. AFTER OWNING THE ROGUE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ( I BOUGHT IT NEW), THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING IN THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN, THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HUNDRED (I RECALL IT BEING OVER $500, BUT IT'S SO LONG AGO I MAY BE WRONG)TO FIX IT. I THOUGHT THAT TOO MUCH, BUT WHEN THE TAKATA RECALLS BEGAN, AND PEOPLE BEGAN TO DIE, I BECAME MORE CONCERNED. I LIVE IN HAWAII, WHICH IS VERY HOT AND HUMID. THE REALITY IS EITHER THE SENSOR OR THE AIRBAG HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY FROM NEARLY THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT'S OBVIOUSLY FAULTY, AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX IT.
Air bags, Feb 23, 2016
AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. THEY RESET IT AND TOLD ME THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IF THE PASSENGER HAD THEIR SEATBELT ON. I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE CAR WITH THEIR SEATBELT ON AND THE WARNING LIGHT THAT STATES #2 PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. NISSAN HAD TOLD BE BEFORE THEY RESET THE SENSOR THAT IT WOULD COST $1000 TO REPLACE THE CUSHION WITH THE SENSOR IN IT. I DONT KNOW IF I BELIEVE THE CAR OR NISSAN, WILL THE AIRBAG DEPLOY OR NOT. I DONT HAVE $1000 TO REPLACE CUSHION AND WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN THEY TOLD ME SORRY YOUR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALL OUT FOR THIS AIRBAG. I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A PASSENGER IN MY CAR NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY OR NOT. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE GETTING HURT OR WORSE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

THE CURRENT AIRBAG FAULT IS THE EXACT SAME AS THE LATE MODEL ROGUE SEAT CUSHION SWITCH FAULT RECALL, BUT OUR MODEL VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE WERE STONE WALLED AT CAR PRO'S BURIEN NISSAN IN WASHINGTON STATE. THEY WERE HAPPY TO OFFER A $2000 FIX EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED AFTER ONLY 8K MILES. WE WERE APPALLED AT THEIR CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR OUR SAFETY ESPECIALLY SINCE WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT WAS A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DEALER DUE TO HEAVY BUSINESS TRAVEL AT THE TIME. BASICALLY WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND A CAR WITHOUT FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS FOR YEARS NOW WHILE WAITING FOR THE RECALL TO EXTEND TO OUR VEHICLE!

"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT A NISSAN ROGUE IN 2008. SOON AFTERWARD THE SENSOR WENT OFF TO TELLS US THE THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WAS OFF. THAT LIGHT HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN, THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT WAS FAULTY, AND IT WOULD COST OVER $500 TO FIX. I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO MUCH, AND I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALER, BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. IT'S BEEN BROKEN/FLASHING EVER SINCE. WHEN THE RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS BEGAN, I RECOGNIZED THAT MY CAR WAS SUFFERING FROM THE COMMON COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAULTY AIRBAGS, AND SINCE PEOPLE WERE DYING I WAS CONCERNED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT 2008 ROGUES WERE PART OF THE RECALL, SO I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN, BUT THEY SAID MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL, THOUGH MANY 2008 ROGUES WERE. I THEN CALLED NHTSA'S VEHICLE HOTLINE, AND THE PERSON RECOMMEND I CALL A CORPORATE NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN NUMBER (1-800-647-7261). I TALKED TO A NICE WOMAN WHO SAID SHE WOULD TURN IN MY COMPLAINT AND SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME THE NEXT DAY. A MAN CALLED AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT MY ROGUE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL AND THAT NISSAN, THEREFORE, WOULD NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM. I'M PARTICULARLY WORRIED AS I LIVE IN HAWAII, WHICH IS VERY MOIST, AND THIS SEEMS TO INCREASE THE RISK OF THE AIRBAG GOING OFF. WHETHER IT'S A TAKATA ARIBAG OR NOT, THIS WAS CLEARLY A FAULTY PRODUCT, SO I FEEL IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE DEALER.

MY MOTHER IN LAW WAS DRIVING ON WEDNESDAY LAST AT AROUND 35 MPH. IT WAS RAINING AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A COLLISION EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO COLLISION. THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE A DENT ON IT ANYWHERE. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR WAS "ALL BEAT UP". HAVING BEEN AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, I DON'T RECALL ANY AIRBAG SENSORS UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THEY ARE MAKING HER INSURANCE PAY TO CORRECT IT.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD STATED BLINKING AND THE LIGHT SHOWING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF STAYED ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO KINGSTON NISSAN FOR INSPECTION AND TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THE OCS UNIT FAILED. AND IT NEED A OCS SEAT UNIT. I GOOGLE THIS ISSUE AND SAW THAT IT WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CO SUMER AFFAIRS FILED A CLAIM AND THEY SAID THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART. NISSAN DEALER IS CHARGING ME $1691 TO REPLACE THE SEAT.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 08V5210000 WAS ISSUED RECALLING THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE FOR A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR. WHY WHEN I OWN A 2008 ROGUE, AND THE DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THE OCS CONTROL UNIT FAULTY & NOW HAS FAILED, IS NISSAN NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING IT AT THEIR COST? THEY TELL ME IT IS BECAUSE ONLY A CERTAIN SUPPLIER WAS RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THE SAME PART IS THE ONE THAT IS FAULTY IN MY 2008 ROGUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT WAS RECALLED ON MY MAKE & MODEL BUT BECAUSE MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (I.E. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAINED), THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR 50 MILES TO/FROM SCHOOL EVERYDAY. THIS REPAIR IS $2500! IT IS A FAULTY PART & NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING ALL PARTS THAT ARE DEEMED FAULTY AND FAIL. I INFORMED NISSAN THAT (HEAVEN FORBID) IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT & MY DAUGHTER FLIES OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT IS ON RECORD & A LAWSUIT WILL BE FILED. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AS IS YOUR ORGANIZATION. BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU LIMIT THESE RECALLS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BIG CORPORATIONS INSTEAD OF THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE.

AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING OUT OF NOWHERE. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BECAUSE MY SENTRA DID THIS BEFORE TOO, BUT STOPPED. FINALLY BROUGHT IT IN BECAUSE IT WASN'T GOING OFF AND TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SPIRAL CABLE THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY AIR BAG. ELECTRICAL SHORTS CAN ALSO CAUSE FIRES. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A CURRENT RECALL AND WE ARE JUST PAST WARRANTY NOW - EVEN THOUGH IT STARTED PRE-EXPIRATION. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE AFFECTED BY MAINTENANCE OR ANYTHING WE COULD'VE DONE WRONG. IT CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE IN TERMS OF FIRE AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS ABLE TO SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE WEB. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE ALL USING A TRICK TO GET THE LIGHT OFF, NOT REALIZING THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAR CAN START ON FIRE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD CAME ON. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET A FEW TIMES BUT IT WILL NOT RESET.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A USED 2008 NISSAN ROGUE THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. FROM RESEARCHING THE MATTER ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT MANY 2007-2008 NISSAN VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT CANNOT DETECT WHEN ANYONE IS SITTING IN THAT SEAT - IN OTHER WORDS, NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG BUT WITH THE SEAT SENSOR. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE USED VEHICLE FROM SAYS OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, ALTHOUGH OUR ISSUE MATCHES WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND PERTAINS TO OUR YEAR VEHICLE. *TR

AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER 2008 NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT WAS FLASHING, INDICATING A NON-FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG (THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM, DRIVER'S SIDE INCLUDED, WE FOUND OUT LATER). THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE 200,000+ VEHICLES RECALLED (08V521000) FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE WITH THE OCS (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM). THE ONLY FIX, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER (AND THE SUBSEQUENT MULTIPLE CALLS TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS), IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE: 1) THE PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR DISABLES THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM, AND 2) A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX ($1800-$2500) IS REQUIRED FOR A SAFETY SYSTEM SENSOR. IN LIGHT OF THE NEARLY 1 MILLION NISSAN VEHICLES RECENTLY RECALLED (2014) FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE,THE RECALL REALLY SHOULD HAVE APPLIED NOT ONLY TO THOSE INITIAL 200,000+ VEHICLES, BUT ALL THOSE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME SENSOR SYSTEM THAT THEY STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN RIGHT. THIS IS POOR ENGINEERING AT IT'S BEST! *TR
