What's wrong?
The electrical harness connector in the 2008-2014 Nissan Rogue sits near the driver side floor area and links wiring circuits inside the vehicle. That connector is supposed to keep electrical signals and power moving through the harness without interruption. It depends on a dry, clean connection between the terminals inside the connector.
On affected Rogue SUVs, snow, water, and road salt carried into the driver footwell can soak through the carpet near that connector. Salt water conducts electricity and corrodes metal terminals. Over time, that mixture can create an electrical short in the connector instead of keeping current on its intended path.
There is no warning sign before failure. A wet driver side carpet after snow or rain is worth taking seriously, but Nissan did not identify a specific light, sound, smell, or drivability symptom that appears before the connector shorts.

What's the safety risk?
An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire, so treat this recall as a safety issue and arrange the dealer inspection soon. Nissan's repair path is an inspection of the kick panel wiring harness connector, with connector and seal work when needed. Repair will be free at any franchised Nissan dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2014 Nissan Rogue is included in this recall.
- Watch for Nissan's owner notice before scheduling the final repair; the dealer repair is free once it opens for your VIN.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer and ask about the kick panel wiring harness connector inspection for recall number 15V032.
- Ask the dealer whether the harness connector needs a new connector and waterproof seal to stop water and salt from shorting the wiring.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one, or give the dealer your VIN and recall number 15V032.
- Park the vehicle and call Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 if you smell smoke, see electrical problems, or suspect water has reached the driver-side floor wiring.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector near the driver side floor area. If the connector is damaged or exposed to water and salt intrusion, the technician will install a new harness connector and waterproof seal. The dealer repair will be free once Nissan makes the final remedy available. Nissan's owner notice includes reimbursement for repairs completed before the recall notice on affected vehicles no longer under warranty. Newer vehicles still under factory warranty are handled through that warranty coverage. Keep any repair invoices and ask Nissan customer service how to submit documentation.
