2020 Nissan Rogue Ignition Key May Collapse While Driving

Nissan is recalling certain 2020 Rogues and Rogue Sports due to a faulty ignition key that may collapse while driving. The collapse could shut off the engine and prevent airbag deployment in a crash.

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: The recall involves a functional vehicle ignition defect where the key may collapse and cause unintended engine shutdown, increasing crash risk and potentially preventing airbag deployment. However, no actual injuries, crashes, or property damage are reported in the source text, making the hazard theoretical.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife-style ignition key. The key may collapse into a folded position during vehicle operation.

If the key collapses while the vehicle is being driven, driver contact with the collapsed key could inadvertently shut off the engine. An unintended engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the engine shuts off during driving, the airbags may not deploy as intended in a subsequent crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Approximately 712,458 vehicles are affected by this recall. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 30, 2023. Affected owners should contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 to arrange the free remedy, which involves inserting a spacer into the key slot. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
