What Happened
Nissan has announced two separate recalls affecting a total of 642,698 Nissan Rogue SUVs from the 2023 to 2025 model years. Both recalls are related to issues with the vehicle’s 1.5-liter three-cylinder VC Turbo engines, which have previously been subject to recalls.
Why It Matters
The first recall addresses a potential failure in the electronic throttle chamber (ETC) assembly, which could lead to a loss of power and prevent the vehicle from engaging in forward or reverse gear during a restart. The second recall is linked to engine bearing failures caused by high oil temperatures, which can degrade oil lubricity and potentially result in engine damage or failure. These issues pose significant safety risks for drivers and passengers, as well as other road users.
What’s Next
Nissan will notify affected vehicle owners by mail, instructing them to bring their vehicles to authorized dealerships for necessary repairs. The first recall involves updating the engine control module software, while the second recall will address the underlying issues contributing to engine failures. Owners of previously repaired vehicles will also need to seek this new remedy.
