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.

TAKATA RECALL. AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. BROUGHT TO DEALER. CHARGED ME $160 TO TELL ME OF A SENSOR PAD MALFUNCTION AND ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE OF SRS SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST APPROX 1,900. I UNDERSTAND 2008 AND 2010 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT 2009. WHY NOT??

BLINKING AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY CHARGED $115 FOR INSPECTION AND SAID THAT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION NEEDS TO BE CHANGED WHICH HAS OCS SENSOR BUILT IN, WHICH WOULD COST ADDITIONAL $1965. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL NISSAN ROGUE 2009 AND THE COMPANY MUST RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS AS IF THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH

Air bags, Seats, Jun 17, 2019
AIR BAG FAILURE - THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO NOT WORK (AS NOTED BY THE FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH AS WELL AS THE SECONDARY AIRBAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON NEAR THE GEAR SHIFTER). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN. THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OF THE NISSAN ROGUE WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL (2008 AND 2010 WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE). AS A RESULT, IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO WORK AND TO REMAIN SAFE IN THE CAR WHEN DRIVING, IT REQUIRES A NEW PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. THIS REPAIR COSTS GREATER THAN $2000 (PART AND LABOR).
Air bags, May 24, 2019

MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE IS PULLING A CODE FOR THE OCCUPANCY-CLASSIFICATION SENSOR FAIL. THIS IS THE SAME FAIL THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL NISSAN MODELS. THE FIX, I'M TOLD IS A NEW SEAT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY EXCESSIVE AND NOT REASONABLE GIVEN THE HISTORY OF NISSAN AND THE OCS SENSOR FAILURES ON THEIR VEHICLES.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER MY 8 YEAR OLD WAS SEATING IN THE FRONT SEAT WHILE CAR WAS PARKED. SCAN CODE B1018 OCCUPANT SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. CALLED NISSAN WHICH NOTED THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2008 ROGUE MODELS AND STILL HAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THAT YEAR BUT MY 2009 MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED. BUT IRONICALLY THE SAME EXACT ISSUE EXIST WITH BOTH MODEL AND FIXING THE ISSUE WILL COST ME $1000. THERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE FOR NISSAN ROGUE MODELS 2008 - 2010 BUT NISSAN IS TAKING NO ACTION ESPECIALLY WITH A MAJOR AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE LIKE SO.
Air bags, Jan 12, 2019
EXACT SAME ISSUE AS FOR NTB08-095 RECALL AFFECTING 2008 NISSAN ROGUE BUT CALLED NISSAN AND THEY DO NOT COVER THIS FOR THE 2009. OCU MALFUNCTION CODE B1018.
Air bags, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 10, 2018
MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BLINKING ALL THE TIME, WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALER THEY ADVICE ME TO REPLACE AIR BAG AND SENSORS IT COST MORE THAN $2000.00. A FUEL GAUGE LIGHT ON DASH BOARD IS DROPPED WHEN IT'S FULL TANK.
Air bags, Sep 22, 2018
STARTED THE VEHICLE ONE DAY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WAS ON. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR WAS ALSO ON, WHICH INDICATES THAT SAID AIRBAG IS DISABLED BUT THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE SEAT. LOOKING UP THE DASHBOARD'S AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING SEQUENCE IN THE SERVICE MANUAL (ONE LONG BLINK FOLLOWED BY FIVE QUICK BLINKS), THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM SENSOR THAT IS EMBEDDED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BUCKET. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY COMPONENT WHICH HAS BEEN IN OTHER SERVICE BULLETINS FOR VARIOUS NISSAN VEHICLES. FOR THE ROGUE, THE RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN NTB-095D COVERS THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT ONLY FOR 2008 UNITS. FORUM POSTS BY OWNERS APPEAR TO INDICATE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR VEHICLES NOT COVERED IN SAID BULLETIN. THE COST TO REPLACE THE SEAT IS AROUND $2,000, SINCE NISSAN CAN NOT REPLACE THE SENSOR ITSELF. THIS IS COST PROHIBITIVE CONSIDERING THAT THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IT PRESENTS FAILURE ON THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM, WHICH CONTRARY TO MECHANICAL SYSTEMS IS SUBJECT TO MINIMAL WEAR (IF ANY), SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING THE VEHICLES USABILITY UNLESS THE OWNER IS WILLING TO TAKE THE UNNECESSARY RISK OF USING IT IN THE MEAN TIME.
Air bags, Aug 23, 2018
MY AIRBAG PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT ON THE DASH AND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAME ON AT 100,000. THIS MADE ME RESEARCH RECALLS. I CAN NOT BELIEVE ALL THE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR 2009. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS BUILT IN 2008. I GUESS WE ARE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE DIE UNTIL THIS WILL BE DONE. WE ARE TO PAY FOR IT WHEN THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I REALLY LIKE MY NISSAN BUT I CAN NOT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK OF BEING HURT OR EVEN KILLED. I WILL NOT REPURCHASE A NISSAN AGAIN. I GUESS IT IS CHEAPER TO NOT FIX IT THAN TO PAY OUT SETTLEMENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. OR HIT A BIG BUMP.
Air bags, May 31, 2018
