Nissan Motor is recalling around 643,000 Rogue SUVs in the US over powertrain issues, according to the country’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The regulator confirmed that the Japanese automaker is issuing two separate recalls involving the same model, to remedy faults that could lead to a loss of power and possible engine fires.
One of the recalls affects 319,000 vehicles, due to the risk of throttle-body gear breakage. The other recall, affecting 324,000 vehicles, is due to possible engine bearing damage, which could cause hot oil leakage leading to a loss of power and a risk of engine fire.
In both cases, the NHTSA suggested that Nissan dealers should reprogramme the vehicles’ engine-control software and replace any broken components.
Nissan reported a slight increase in US sales to 926,153 units in 2025, including 52,846 units under its upmarket Infiniti luxury brand. The Rogue was its best-selling model in the country last year with 217,896 sales, down 11% year-on-year. The Sentra sedan was its second best-selling model with 152,578 units, followed by the Kicks SUV with 103,575 units.
