Engine Bearing Recall MY21-24 Rogue

Nissan has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain model year 2021- 2024 Nissan Rogue vehicles. Certain vehicles may be equipped with an engine that contains a manufacturing defect that affects specific engine bearings and/or engine components. As a result, these components may progressively fail over time, leading to engine damage and engine failure. If the engine fails while driving, it can result in a loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash. In certain cases, a bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.

Is this a safety recall?

Yes.

What is the reason for the recall?

Nissan has identified instances of bearing failures in certain vehicles equipped with the 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. These issues may be attributed to a potential manufacturing defect affecting specific engine bearings—namely the main, A-, C-, and L-link bearings—or associated engine components. Such defects can lead to engine damage and, in some cases, complete engine failure.

What is the possible effect of the condition?

Bearing degradation typically occurs progressively rather than suddenly. As a result, affected vehicles often exhibit multiple early warning signs, including unusual engine noises, rough engine performance, illumination of the malfunction indicator light (MIL), and warning messages displayed in the instrument cluster. Should the engine fail while the vehicle is in motion, it may result in a loss of motive power (LOMP), thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

What model year vehicles are involved?

Certain model year 2019-2020 Nissan Altima vehicles manufactured from May 25, 2018 to December 11, 2019 and certain model year 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured from March 12, 2021 to August 1, 2024.

Are you experiencing this condition on any other Nissan (or INFINITI) models?

Yes, certain model year 2019-2022 INFINITI QX50 vehicles manufactured from October 6, 2017 to January 10, 2022 and certain model year 2022 INFINITI QX55 vehicles manufactured from February 10, 2021 to January 10, 2022.

Will I have to take my vehicle back to the selling dealer to have the service performed?

No, any authorized Nissan dealer will be able to perform the recall campaign.

Is there any charge for the repair?

No, the remedy will be performed for the customer free of charge for parts and labor.
