Problem Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Rogue vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure. Risk Engine failure can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire. Fix Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software, inspect for diagnostic trouble codes, and test drive the vehicle, free of charge. The dealer may also inspect the oil pan for metal debris, and replace the engine if necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 8, 2026.

These are vehicle campaigns — the ones the automaker filed against this model. NHTSA also records equipment recalls, filed by a parts maker against a component (a tyre, a child seat, an aftermarket part), and those are not listed here or counted above. nhtsa.gov/recalls shows both for a VIN.

Whether any of this applies to one specific Rogue

A campaign covers a build range, not a model year, so two identical-looking cars from 2025 can differ. Both of these check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list, free, in about ten seconds. Nissan publishes its own lookup because federal rule 49 CFR 573.15 requires it to, and to keep it current to within seven days.

Hear about a recall before the letter does

The manufacturer’s letter is the last step of a recall: it has up to 60 days after filing to mail owners, at the address on the registration. We email you the day NHTSA posts a recall on the 2025 Nissan Rogue, with what to do next. Nothing else, ever — no newsletter, no marketing, one-click unsubscribe in every message.

The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormally strong sulfur odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the odor was caused by the exhaust system; however, no diagnostic trouble codes were retrieved.

Only a few weeks after purchasing my brand new vehicle, the airbag warning light appeared. When I brought it in February, I was told a part was on backorder for about 4-6 weeks and, quite concerningly, advised to “not hit anything” in the meantime.

On Oct 15th, 2025 in the afternoon my vehicle was parked at my work and back hatch windshield complete shattered. Many other vehicles parked in the same parking lot. No signs of any foul play. Called State Farm insurance and they called the auto glass repair shop to file a claim and have fixed.

Our car is currently at the dealership again, (2nd time) for this particular issue that we feel is a safety issue. We are still experiencing an issue with the lift gate. It is coming down at random times, often coming down on us. The sensor always beeps (so far) so you have a very short warning before it comes down on you.

When owners reported it

Reported at 12k

miles, typically

Half the 23 owner reports with an odometer reading on file fall between 9,000 and 15,000 miles. That is when problems get reported, which is not the same as when they start — and not a failure rate, because nobody knows how many of these cars never had a problem at all.

Too few readings for a curve — the 23 on file: 9 under 10k, 10 10k–20k, 1 20k–30k, 2 30k–40k, 1 40k–50k.

Median mileage by component

Component	Reports	Median miles	Vs same age
Visibility/Wiper	19	13,000	1.6×

Vs same age is this model year’s median for the system divided by the median of every 2025-model-year complaint about the same system, all makes: under 1× means owners of this car reported it at lower mileage. Here, owners reported later: visibility/wiper (1.6×). Which systems go early across the whole fleet: the component study.

Odometer readings as filed by owners with NHTSA. Readings under 100 or over 400,000 miles are dropped as data entry rather than history, and a component needs at least 12 readings before a median is shown for it.

Nissan North America, Inc. report 945-10588 Mar 2025 NHTSA SGO filing

A report under the General Order is a notice the manufacturer or operator must file within days of hearing of a crash in which a Level 2 driver-assist or automated-driving system was engaged within 30 seconds of impact. It is filed before anything is verified, and entities with telematics hear of far more crashes than entities that rely on complaints, so counts say as much about the reporting as about the car and are not comparable across makes.

*****Dealer Announcement***** Nissan is conducting a service campaign on certain model year 2025 Nissan Rogue vehicles identified in Service Comm and National Service History – Open Campaigns. On affected vehicles, some NissanConnect Services subscribers are unable to access the remote engine start/stop and climate (RES) features via both the mobile app and the web portal. Customers are still able

A service bulletin is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a known condition. It is not a recall, not a finding that the vehicle is defective, and the work is not automatically free — though a bulletin is often what a dealer works from when you describe a symptom, so quoting the document number can save a diagnosis. The count is every communication filed; the list shows the most recent, one entry per campaign, because a single campaign is usually filed as several documents on the same day. The summaries are NHTSA's; the full documents come from the manufacturer.

Diagnostic trouble codes on file

Source: NHTSA manufacturer communications and complaints

Codes documented against this model year in the federal record. A code appearing here does not mean this vehicle will set it — it means the code is part of this nameplate-year's documented history.

Code	What it means	Most often filed under	Where it appears
P0196 P0196 on Nissan →	Manufacturer-defined — the meaning is set by the automaker, not the standard.	Engine	1 bulletin · 1 owner report
P0456 P0456 on Nissan →	A very small leak in the evaporative emissions system.	Fuel/Propulsion System · Gas cap →	2 bulletins

Generic codes (the second character is 0 or 2) mean the same thing on every vehicle sold in the United States. Manufacturer-specific codes (1 or 3) mean whatever the automaker assigned, and no honest source can define them for you — which is why the ones here carry the evidence instead of a definition. A code is a link when enough separate federal documents name it across the catalogue to be worth a page of its own; the rest are listed here, where the vehicle is the context that makes them mean something.

Common questions about the 2025 Rogue

Source: EPA, NHTSA and manufacturer press kits

How much does the 2025 Nissan Rogue cost?

Manufacturer pricing runs from $28,590 for the S FWD to $39,990 for the Platinum AWD, across 9 trims. Those are MSRPs from the manufacturer's own press material; they exclude destination, options, taxes and whatever the dealer adds. Every trim and price is listed above.

Does the 2025 Nissan Rogue have any recalls?

NHTSA has posted 3 recall campaigns for the 2025 Nissan Rogue. The most serious on file is 26V081000, covering Fuel System, Gasoline. Check your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls; a recall applies to specific build ranges, not every car.

How safe is the 2025 Nissan Rogue?

NHTSA gave the 2025 Nissan Rogue 5 stars overall in its New Car Assessment Program tests — 4-star frontal crash, 5-star side crash, 4-star rollover. WhichTrim also grades it B (83/100) on its recall record, which is a different question from crash protection.

What is the fuel economy of the 2025 Nissan Rogue?

Across the 5 EPA-rated configurations of the 2025 Nissan Rogue, the best EPA combined figure is 33 mpg. Figures are the EPA's own, per configuration, and every one is listed above.

What do owners complain about on the 2025 Nissan Rogue?

Owners have filed 197 complaints with NHTSA about the 2025 Nissan Rogue, most often about visibility/wiper, unspecified, engine. Of those, 6 involved a crash, 1 a fire, 6 reported injuries. Complaints are unverified owner reports, so treat the pattern as a signal and the individual report as an anecdote.

How clean is the 2025 Nissan Rogue?

The EPA smog rating for the 2025 Nissan Rogue is 5 out of 10. That score covers tailpipe pollutants other than greenhouse gases, and it only compares vehicles within the same model year. It is certified for all fifty states, so it can be registered new anywhere in the U.S. Its configurations were certified to different standards — California LEV-III ULEV50, Federal Tier 3 Bin 50 — which the table above lists per configuration.

Are there service bulletins for the 2025 Nissan Rogue?

The manufacturer has filed 16 service bulletins and related communications with NHTSA for the 2025 Nissan Rogue, most often covering engine, electrical system, structure. The most recent is dated 2026-05-01. A bulletin is not a recall: it is the repair procedure a manufacturer sends its dealers for a condition it knows about, and the work is not automatically paid for. It is still worth knowing — if the symptom matches, quoting the bulletin number at the service desk can save a diagnosis. The document numbers and summaries are listed above.

How does the 2025 Nissan Rogue do at state inspection?

In New York’s inspection lanes over the 12 months to Oct 10, 2026, the 2025 Nissan Rogue failed the safety inspection on 0.26% of first inspections — lower than the 0.36% for every 2025 model-year vehicle inspected. The figures are New York State DMV’s own inspection records, first inspections only, and the table above sets each one against every vehicle of the same model year.

Which 2025 Nissan Rogue trim is the best value?

$11,400 separates the cheapest of the 9 trims from the most expensive, so the answer depends on which of the differences you would actually use. Every trim has its own page here with the manufacturer's full specification and equipment list, plus a short summary of exactly what it adds over the base trim — worth reading before a dealer frames the walk-up for you. The trim-by-trim ladder shows what every step up costs and what it makes standard.

Is the 2025 Nissan Rogue better than the 2025 Chevrolet Trax?

The Nissan Rogue wins clearly, 95.4 to 82.2, on performance, space & cargo, fuel & range. We publish a full side-by-side of the 2025 Nissan Rogue against the 2025 Chevrolet Trax — specifications by family, equipment feature by feature, safety record and ownership costs. You can re-weight what matters to you and the verdict recalculates.

The most serious recall counts in full and each further one counts 85% of the one before, because a vehicle sold in millions is recalled more often than a rare one without being more dangerous — and because a flat subtraction bottomed the scale out, scoring a vehicle with 22 recalls within a point of one with six. A ≥ 90, B ≥ 80, C ≥ 70, D ≥ 60, otherwise F. Read it as what it counts: recall campaigns on the federal record, weighted by severity. The damping reduces the sales bias by roughly 40% but does not remove it: like our complaint counts, this is not normalized by how many were sold, so a best-seller still scores somewhat worse than an obscure model with the same real risk. NHTSA crash ratings, do-not-drive and park-outside advisories, and the crash, fire, injury and death counts in owner complaints are reported separately on every page and never blended into the letter — a vehicle can hold five stars and a poor letter at once, and where that happens we say so rather than leave you to notice. Because the scale subtracts from a clean sheet, a model year too new to have been recalled, complained about or bulletined scores full marks on an empty record; we label those grades provisional rather than present them as earned.

EPA figures come from fueleconomy.gov vehicle records. Recalls, complaints, investigations and crash ratings come from NHTSA's public flat files, refreshed nightly. Trim-level specifications and pricing are transcribed from the manufacturer's official press kit; every value carries its source in the data file.
