Nissan Recalls 642,698 Rogue SUVs for Fire and Power‑Loss Risks

Nissan has issued two U.S. safety recalls covering a combined 642,698 Rogue compact SUVs from model years 2023–2025 because their 1.5‑liter three‑cylinder variable‑compression turbo engines can fail in ways that cause fires or sudden loss of power, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. One recall, affecting 323,917 Rogues from 2023–2025, expands a June 2025 campaign and targets engine bearings that can fail, potentially leading to hot oil leaks and an increased fire risk. The second recall covers 318,781 Rogues from 2024–2025 whose electronic throttle body assemblies can suffer broken internal gears, which could cause unexpected loss of engine power and raise crash risk. In both cases, Nissan dealers are instructed to inspect and repair the vehicles free of charge, and owners will begin receiving notification letters on March 27, 2026 under recall numbers R25E2 and R25E3. For U.S. drivers, this is another reminder that the newer VC‑Turbo engine family has had recurring manufacturing problems serious enough for regulators to warn of fires and on‑road failures.
