Electrical system, ignition, anti-theft, immobilizer/proximity, key/senderFeb 16, 2023
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Rogue vehicles. The electrical connector for the under dash harness may corrode due to water and salt intrusion from the driver's side foot well.
Corrosion in the electrical connector can result in power window/seat failure, all-wheel-drive warning light illumination, battery drainage, and electrical connector damage that increases the risk of a fire.
Dealers will remove the harness tape and harness covering and replace both connectors and apply white lithium grease to the connectors as necessary, free of charge.

In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge.

THE CAR HAS A KEYLESS OPERATION. AFTER SERVICE AN REPROGRAMMING FOR A CVT ISSUE, THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AFTER SITTING IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT. IN ORDER TO START, THE BRAKE MUST BE ENGAGED BEFORE PUSHING THE START BUTTON. THIS DID NOT WORK AND THE START ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. PUSHING THE START BUTTON RESULTED IN CLICKING NOISE BUT THE SOLENOID (IF THIS CAR HAS ONE) DID NOT ENGAGE. AFTER TRYING SEVERAL TIMES AND TURNING LIGHTS ON AND OFF, THE CAR STARTS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE IGNITION WOULD DISENGAGE WHILE DRIVING. ONCE THE VEHICLE STARTED, IT DID NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF; BUT I HAVEN'T TESTED DRIVING IT. THE CAR NEVER DID THIS UNTIL THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMING DONE THIS PAST THURSDAY FEBRUARY 24TH WHEN I HAD THE CAR SERVICE BEFORE LEAVING ON A TRIP.
