Nissan is recalling certain 2023-2025 Rogue vehicles with the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine because increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, causing the bearings to seize and the engine to fail.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: the source describes complete engine failure and loss of drive power, and a bearing failure breaching the engine block.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2023-2025 Rogue vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L variable compression turbo engines. About 323,917 units are potentially affected.

Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure.

NHTSA states that engine failure can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash, and that a bearing failure may breach the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged and increasing the risk of an engine fire.

Dealers will reprogram the engine control module 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. Owners may contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
