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: 2025 Nissan Rogue (1.5L 3-Cylinder VC-Turbo Engine) Approximate Mileage: about 23,600 miles Failure Date: September 25, 2026 Incident Description: While operating my vehicle on September 24, the cabin climate control system suddenly stopped producing heat and began blowing exclusively cool air. The following day, while accelerating onto the freeway to merge into high-speed active traffic, a massive column of thick white smoke violently billowed out from the vehicle exhaust so thick I could not see vehicles around me. Concurrently, the engine temperature gauge spiked aggressively into the extreme hot/danger zone before erratically fluctuating back toward the normal range. Immediately following the temperature spike, the vehicle lost reliable acceleration, began severely lunging, jerking, and lost normal throttle response. The dashboard illuminated multiple critical malfunction alerts, specifically identifying a failure in the Emission Control System and the automatic Start-Stop system warning. Safety Risk Statement: The sudden powertrain failure and severe engine lunging occurred at highway speeds (65-70 mph) on a major freeway I-35, resulting in an immediate and hazardous drop in speed. As the vehicle slowed down rapidly in active traffic, I was forced to maneuver a failing vehicle across two active lanes of high-speed traffic and cut directly across a freeway on-ramp with a failing throttle to reach the safety of the shoulder, where I awaited a tow truck. This defect presents an immediate, catastrophic collision hazard. The manufacturer has expanding recalls on this specific VC-Turbo engine family, but claims my specific VIN is not currently covered. There were no warning indicators prior to the failure. Elevated Nissan in Merriam Kansas has the vehicle and is evaluating it.

While driving the start/stop fault popped up then the Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Parking Collision Warning malfunctioned. The vehicle also lost power when accelerating, RPM would go high but vehicle wouldn’t go any faster. Engine light came on. Had it scanned codes P0196 (engine oil temperature sensor ‘A’ range/performance) & P0507 (idle control system RPM-higher than expected). Fuel consumption goes fast.

Back windshield spontaneously shattered. About 10 minutes after the car was parked a coworker heard a loud bang and noticed pieces of the window falling off of the car. When I came out (I was already inside) cracks were still appearing and pieces were falling off. I had put on the rear defrost on the way into work, about 10 minutes.

Steering, Forward collision avoidance, Sep 14, 2026
While driving the steering wheel pulled to the left then shook a little after. Then it kind of pulled to the right. I kept driving and later in afternoon received email from Nissan that my Electronic Power Steering System may not be functioning properly. They recommended to have it serviced asap. Same drive, a car pulled in front of me and I did not get a verbal or audible warning regarding a possible front collision. My ADAS was repaired in August. While cars stopped at red light, I came up on a stopped vehicle purposefully and got very close. No warning again with a system that was repaired last month. No braking either.

While driving my 2025 Nissan rogue Platinum on the parkway while engaging their propilot assist function my car randomly and on multiple occasions applied the brakes when it wasn't necessary. Just led to at least one occasion where there was almost a severe accident however thankfully I was able to regain control in time. On these occasions they are completely random does not happen every time it's just tends to happen when I least expect it. It's happened at least 5 to 10 times over the past year I've brought it into my local dealership and it's currently there a second time and they claim they are unable to replicate the issue. Lastly on another occasion the words malfunctioning check our owners manual appeared on my dashboard and then propilot assist was unable to function at all until the car was turned off and back on I captured video of this and attached it

The vehicle was recalled and when they reprogrammed the ECM, a code P11a9 appeared which led to the VCR actuator. They had to perform a VCR base position learning procedure. Initially, the service tech and service manager told us we needed a new engine.also, the ADAS and lane departure parts needed to be replaced as the crash malfunction light came on at about 65 miles.

After multiple issues with the motor of my new Rogue, my windshield spontaneously shattered this week. I'm glad I was not driving the vehicle when it occurred because apparently it sounded like a shotgun when it ruptured. This is a major issue apparently for many Rogue owners. My concern is what else might be wrong with the vehicle - not a safe vehicle for sure. If you're a mom and driving with little kiddos - please find a safer vehicle! Nissan is repairing the windshield and is trying to offer to trade the vehicle - which is a sign that they are aware of this problem among Rogues.

In July 16, 2026, at 4:34 pm I was driving my Nissan Rogue at 45 mph with my elderly mother in law sitting next to the window it exploded for no apparent reason. There was no other traffic next to us and in looking at the shattered glass that rained into the car there was no rock, bullet, or any foreign matter that would have caused the glass to explode. The weather outside was partly cloudy and the temperature was in the mid-90s. It is a new car but this was a very dangerous thing to happen and showered my passenger with glass.

The rear hatch window in my 2025 nissan rogue rock creek with 13,500 miles spontaneously exploded out while parked. This could have caused significant injury and or damage to another person or vehicle. The entire rear window shattered. The glass could have cut someone if the vehicle was occupied when it happened. I've had to file a insurance claim which has cost me my deductible. The dealership acted like they had no clue about this being an issue and has not helped in any way to repair or offer options. So now it comes out of my pocket.
