Recalls for the 2025 Nissan Rogue: 3
The gears in the electronic throttle body assembly may break. Broken throttle body gears can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure. Engine failure can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.
A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. The loss of the rearview camera image while in reverse can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
