2014 Nissan Rogue S 2WD Review

Summary: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.

Consequence: Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.

Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed March 29, 2023. A second letter will be mailed once the remedy is available. Once the remedy is available, dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.
