2021 Nissan Rogue Sport Seat Belt Retractor Safety Defect Recall

Nissan is recalling 2021 Rogue Sport vehicles because seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate prematurely, reducing protection for child safety seats and violating federal crash protection standards.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a vehicle safety system defect affecting child passenger protection with no reported injuries or deaths. The defect violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208, meeting the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling approximately 4,083 2021 Rogue Sport vehicles. The front passenger seat belt and outer rear seat belts in these vehicles contain an automatic locking retractor (ALR) system that may deactivate early, reducing the level of protection provided to installed child safety seats.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 requires seat belt systems to properly protect occupants, including child passengers. When the ALR deactivates prematurely, it compromises this protection and increases the risk of injury during a crash.

Owners of affected 2021 Rogue Sport vehicles should contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or visit www.nhtsa.gov to determine if their vehicle is affected. Nissan dealers will replace the affected seat belts at no cost. Owner notification letters were sent on September 14, 2021. For additional information, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
