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 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

CAR WAS BOUGHT IN MARCH 2018. AROUND 1 MONTH INTO DRIVING THE CAR THE RADIO AND DASH DISPLAY STARTING DOING ITS OWN THING. ONE WOULD SAY RADIO ON, THE OTHER RADIO OFF. AT TIMES, THE CONNECTION MENU WOULD COME AND FREEZE. GOT INTO THE CAR AND STARTED IT AND THE CD STARTED PLAYING LOUDLY, WHICH WAS STRANGE AS WHEN I PARKED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR I ALWAYS TURN THE RADIO OFF. BLIND SPOT INDICATOR FAILED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PASSING A TRACTOR TRAILER. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH A STORM COMING THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT ALONG WITH LIGHTS GOING DIM FOR NO REASON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. HAD ONE INSTANCE WHEN PULLED THE WIPERS TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD, THE SPRAYER WORKED BUT THE WIPERS DID NOT. ALOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. TOOK TO DEALER 4 TIMES IN A MONTH SO THEY COULD "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEMS, I ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THESE PROBLEMS. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN USA IN TENNESSEE, I DID AND WENT BACK AND FORTH AND THEY SENT A NISSAN TECH TO THE DEALERSHIP. HE DIDN'T DRIVE THE CAR AND ADVISED WE DELETE ALL PHONES FROM THE CAR AND DRIVE IT THAT WAY FOR A FEW WEEKS. ALL PROBLEMS STILL GOING ON. NISSAN USA CALLED TODAY AND SAID TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER, THE CASE IS CLOSED AND THE DEALER MAYBE CAN WORK WITH US ON IT. THEY REASSURED ME THAT WE STILL HAVE THE WARRANTY SO THESE PROBLEMS ARE STILL COVERED. ALL INSTANCES HAPPENED WHETHER DRIVING, STARTING OR PARKING THE CAR. SO 4 TRIPS, 2 RENTAL CARS AND 2 DAYS OF MISSED WORK IN A MONTH AND DRIVING WHAT WE FEEL IS AN UNSAFE CAR.
