2019 Nissan Rogue recalls

Folding key can shut the engine off

Crash risk

The key can fold into itself while driving, and contact with it can switch the engine off. If that happens, the airbags may not deploy in a crash, raising the risk of injury.

Fix: The dealer will insert a spacer into the key slot to stop it from folding, free of charge.

Recall 23V093000 · Feb 2023

ECM bracket can damage engine harness

Can stall

The Electronic Control Module bracket can rub against the engine wiring harness and damage it, which can blow a fuse. A blown fuse may cause the engine to stall, raising the risk of a crash.

Fix: The dealer will install a harness protector cover free of charge.

Recall 21V839000 · Oct 2021

Backup camera display can be turned off

Crash risk

On certain 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, and Q70L vehicles, the rear-view camera image can be adjusted so it no longer appears when reversing, and the setting stays off the next time you shift into reverse. Without the camera image, the risk of a crash while backing up goes up.

Fix: Your dealer will update the backup camera settings software at no charge, and Nissan will notify owners in phases.
