What's wrong?
The front wheel hub assembly on these 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder, QX60, and Rogue vehicles supports the front wheel and keeps it turning squarely with the suspension. The related front hub bolts, torque member bolts, and stopper bolt hold that hardware in place so the wheel and brake parts stay clamped under normal driving and braking loads.
On affected vehicles, an assembly process issue left some of those fasteners under tightened or missing. A bolt that is not tightened to the right specification does not hold the joint with the intended force. As the vehicle is driven, the hub or related brake hardware can loosen instead of staying fixed in position.
Owners can notice noise or vibration from the front of the vehicle. Treat either sign as a warning that the hub or brake hardware is not secured as designed.

What's the safety risk?
Loose brake caliper fasteners can let a caliper separate from the wheel assembly, reducing braking performance or steering control and increasing crash risk. Noise or vibration is the warning sign to take seriously. If you notice either, slow down, avoid hard braking, and schedule the inspection promptly. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder, QX60, or Rogue is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free front wheel hub fastener inspection and tightening that addresses loose fasteners tied to brake caliper separation and reduced steering control.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V012 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking when traffic conditions allow.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the front wheel hub assembly fasteners and tightens any loose bolts to the proper specification. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid out of pocket for a related front wheel hub or fastener repair before the recall work, ask the service desk how to submit documentation under Nissan's general reimbursement plan.
