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. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning February 27, 2026.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies," and 210 "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Improperly restrained occupants have an increased risk of injury during a crash.

Visibility/wiper, Sep 4, 2025
The front, movable section of my panoramic sunroof unexpectedly exploded/shattered while driving. There were no other vehicles in front of me and it was a clear sunny day with nothing overhead. The sunroof and cover were closed. If the cover had been opened, glass shards would've hit the occupants inside the cabin. The sound was an extremely loud bang similar to a shotgun. The sound caused me to brake and slightly swerve. Fortunately, there were no other vehicles nearby and I was able to pullover safely. There was a large chunk of glass missing and quite a bit of small shards on top of the cover. Glass shards continued to fall off while driving home.

I received a message on the Nissan app informing me that there is an active recall affecting the engine of my 2023 Nissan Rogue. I called the service department at Butler Nissan, and they advised me that they cannot do anything at this time and that there is no fix available. I then contacted Butler Nissan headquarters to ask what would happen if my vehicle malfunctioned. Would they provide a loaner car or allow me to get another vehicle that isn’t affected by a recall? My 2023 Nissan Rogue is my only means of transportation, and I am concerned about my family's safety in case the engine fails unexpectedly. The female operator told me they don’t handle hypothetical situations and that I would need to call back if something happens to the vehicle. I find this response completely unacceptable. What if a serious problem occurs, and I'm unable to call back? She didn’t take my concerns seriously, and it feels like Nissan isn't taking this issue seriously either. We could be in a life-threatening situation with a vehicle that hasn't been thoroughly tested! I need a solution, not uncertainty.

Power train, Sep 4, 2025
While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue, the engine suddenly stalled as I approached a stop sign. The dashboard lit up with multiple warning lights, including the oil pressure warning. When I attempted to restart, the vehicle made a loud grinding/knocking sound, failed to start properly, and then shut off again. I was unable to restart the vehicle myself. Later, at the dealership, they reported that they were able to turn it on and drive it, but they could not confirm the stall I experienced. The vehicle has also shown other concerning symptoms: shaking when idling, jerking when stopping or accelerating, and occasional grinding noises. My local Nissan dealer eventually reported a broken transmission mount but did not find engine or transmission codes. I am very concerned that my symptoms (stalling, oil pressure light, grinding on restart) are consistent with the open recall for engine bearings on this model. The dealer admitted they currently have no guidance or remedy from Nissan for this recall, so no proper inspection or fix could be performed. Safety Hazard: This is a serious safety issue. The car stalled unexpectedly in traffic, leaving me without power. I was unable to restart it, and I feared the engine could fail completely at higher speeds, which could put me and others at risk. Concern: Nissan has not yet provided dealers with instructions or remedies for this recall, leaving owners with unsafe vehicles on the road. I strongly believe my case should be investigated as part of the bearing recall.

My car just randomly started having issues. It will start one day then take forever to start the next day. I’ve experienced bad odor to the vehicle and also the vehicle jumps into gears instead of smoothly shifting into gear. Also the engine is making noise and also the engine malfunction light has came on and my vehicle reduced power making it impossible to drive out of nowhere. I don’t feel safe riding in this vehicle due to the burning smell.

Electrical system, Forward collision avoidance, Sep 2, 2025
The screen turns off suddenly while the vehicle is in use. Additionally, the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system is either deactivated or displays as “off” when the car is started. The sudden deactivation of the AEB system compromises the vehicle’s ability to automatically brake in critical situations, increasing the risk of a collision. The screen turning off could also limit access to important vehicle information or controls, further impacting safety. No warning lamps appeared prior to the failure. The issue with the screen and AEB deactivation happens when the vehicle is started, but there were no prior warnings before this started occurring. After so many recalls, I no longer feel safe with this vehicle.

My back window of my 2023 Nissan Rogue SL Blew out. I have a police report. Woman sweepingnuo the glass was nearly hit by the glass as the liftgate opened automatically and she could have been hurt very badly. Of there was someone in the backseat it would have been a very serious injury. The back window id defective and there have been numerous reports of the 2023 Nissan Rogues back windows exploding for no apparent reason. Very dangerous situation. I had mine replaced with no help from Nissan as my car was bought brand new and is still under warranty. Im out $1400.00 for the repair as well. This is unacceptable in so many ways. Im so afraid to drive it again as this could happen again. Someone can be severely hurt or killed. This needs to be recalled now. Before someone dies!!
