Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Rogue vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure.
Engine failure can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.
Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software, inspect for diagnostic trouble codes, and test drive the vehicle, free of charge. The dealer may also inspect the oil pan for metal debris, and replace the engine if necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 8, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25E2 and R25E3. This recall expands previous NHTSA recall number 25V437.

I am leasing a 2023 Nissan Rogue (VIN: [XXX] ) and have received an Important Safety Recall Notice (NHTSA Recall 25V-xxx) regarding a potential engine defect. Unfortunately, my vehicle is already experiencing the exact conditions described in the recall. On multiple occasions (most recently [XXX]), I received warning messages including “Engine Malfunction – Power Reduced” and **“Battery – Service Now.” These incidents occurred while driving with my children in the vehicle on highways, creating an unsafe situation and risk of crash. I took my Rogue to Hertrich Nissan twice for inspection. Each time, I was told no issues were found, despite the warnings reappearing. Prior to this, I also had the MIL status recall performed and was told everything was fine. Clearly, the defect persists, and the vehicle remains unsafe to drive. This is an urgent safety concern. I drive my children daily and cannot risk sudden power loss or engine failure on the road. Nissan has acknowledged this defect in the recall notice but has stated parts may not be available until late 2025. That is unacceptable when the vehicle is already showing failures. I am requesting NHTSA investigate this issue further. Nissan should be required to take immediate corrective action, including providing affected customers with safe alternative transportation, buyback/lease termination options, or reimbursement. Customers should not have to continue making payments on unsafe vehicles while waiting over a year for a potential repair.
