Nissan Recalls 2023-2025 Rogue Models for Engine Failure and Fire Risk

What Happened

Nissan North America, Inc. has issued a recall for certain Rogue vehicles due to a mechanical defect in the engine cooling and internal hardware. According to the NHTSA, increased temperatures can cause engine oil to break down, which may lead to the seizure and damage of engine bearings. This condition can result in total engine failure.

Which Products Are Affected

This recall affects approximately 323,917 units (with a total of 971,751 units associated with related campaigns). The specific vehicles involved are:

• Make/Model: Nissan Rogue
• Model Years: 2023, 2024, and 2025
• Engine Specification: 3-cylinder 1.5L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines

This recall expands upon the previous NHTSA recall number 25V437.

What You Should Do

Owners are advised to contact Nissan customer service at 800-647-7261. Nissan’s internal identifiers for this recall are R25E2 and R25E3.

Dealers will provide the following remedies free of charge:

• Reprogramming of the engine control module (ECM) software.
• Inspection for diagnostic trouble codes and a vehicle test drive.
• Inspection of the oil pan for metal debris and engine replacement if necessary.

Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed on March 27, 2026. Owners can search for their specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA website beginning February 27, 2026.

Why This Matters

Engine failure while in motion can cause a sudden loss of drive power, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, a bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to discharge and creating a high risk of an engine fire.
