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.

ON SATURDAY, MAY 16TH HEADING ON THE 91 EAST BY BELLFLOWER, CA. FRWY I WAS DRIVING AND WHEN A SUDDEN STOP I FOUND IT HARD TO MAKE A STOP BECAUSE THE BRAKE FELT AS IF IT SUNK IN. I UNFORTUNATELY HIT A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY DAMAGE BUT MY NISSAN 2013 ROGUE DID. I TOOK PICTURES TO SHOW THE DAMAGE. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, I WAS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE DID RECEIVE A FRONT IMPACT BUT THE AIR BAGS HAD NO REACTION TO THE HIT. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I RODE WITH MY 3 CHILDREN AGES, 18, 15 AND 11 AND MY FIANC. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET IT'S MAINTENANCE AND AFTER THIS HAPPENING I WAS SURE THAT THE VEHICLE FELT VERY DIFFERENT. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IT WOULD ACCELERATE AND THE BRAKES KEPT SINKING IN WITH HAVING A DELAY IN MAKING A FULL STOP. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN A BODY SHOP THROUGH MY INSURANCE AND I DO NOT RECALL THE MILEAGE? THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND HAS BEEN EVER SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL LETTER REGARDING THE POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT MIGHT SET A FIRE. PLEASE ADVISE/HELP. THANK YOU!
