Recall 12V068 covers 2,983 2012 Nissan Rogue and Murano vehicles with inactive TPMS. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
Nissan is recalling 2,983 2012 Rogue and Murano vehicles under recall 12V068 because the tire pressure monitoring system was not activated during assembly. Without an active TPMS, drivers do not get a low-tire-pressure warning, so underinflated tires can overheat and blow out, which raises crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The tire pressure monitoring system on the 2012 Nissan Rogue and Murano is the warning system that watches tire air pressure while the vehicle is in use. When it is working, sensors report pressure to the vehicle and a dashboard warning light comes on when a tire is underinflated. That warning gives the driver a chance to stop, add air, or have the tire inspected.
On affected Rogue and Murano vehicles, the TPMS was not activated during assembly. The hardware is present, but the monitoring function is not turned on, so the vehicle does not meet the tire pressure monitoring requirement. If a tire loses air, the system does not provide the warning it is supposed to provide.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is that the warning system itself is silent, so the first clue is a low tire found during a manual pressure check or service visit.
Who's affected?
Covers two Nissan SUV models from the 2012 model year, both tied to the tire pressure monitoring system.

|---|---|
| 2012 Nissan Murano | tire |
| Units affected | 2,983 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A non-active tire pressure monitoring system will not warn you when a tire is underinflated. An underinflated tire can overload and overheat, which raises the risk of a blowout and crash. If your VIN is included, schedule the activation promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Nissan dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012 Nissan Rogue or Murano is included in this recall.
- Watch for Nissan's owner notice if your VIN is included.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer and reference recall number 12V068 when you call.
- Schedule the free TPMS activation that restores the low-tire-pressure warning.
- Avoid driving on underinflated tires until the TPMS is active; an inactive TPMS gives no low-pressure warning.
What happens at the repair
The filing says the affected Nissan vehicles were still in dealer inventory, and dealers were instructed to activate the tire pressure monitoring systems before delivery. A Nissan technician activates the TPMS so the vehicle can warn the driver when tire pressure is low. The source does not list a separate owner repair schedule. If a VIN is included and the TPMS activation has not been completed, the dealer repair will be free once Nissan makes the campaign work available for that VIN.
