Nissan Recalls 2016 Rogue Vehicles Due to Improperly Welded Seat Frames

Nissan is recalling 2016 Rogue vehicles because the front passenger seat frames may be improperly welded, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (improperly welded seat frames) that fails to meet federal safety standards and increases the risk of injury in a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.
