What's wrong?
The shift selector knob in a 2015 Nissan Rogue is the part you hold to move the automatic transmission between Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive. In normal operation, the shifter works with a brake interlock. That interlock requires the brake pedal to be pressed before the vehicle shifts out of Park, which helps prevent an unintended rollaway.
On affected Rogue vehicles, a problem with the shift selector knob lets the shifter move out of Park without the driver pressing the brake pedal. That means the vehicle does not meet the federal rollaway-prevention requirement for this system. If the shifter leaves Park when the brake is not applied, the Rogue can roll if it is on a slope or if the driver is not prepared to hold it.
There is no warning sign before failure. Treat any shifter movement out of Park without the brake pedal pressed as the problem this recall is meant to fix.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific SUV.
What's the safety risk?
If the shift selector moves out of Park without the brake pedal pressed, the Rogue can roll unexpectedly and increase the risk of a crash. Keep your foot on the brake when shifting, use the parking brake, and contact a dealer with your VIN. Repair will be free at any franchised Nissan dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Nissan Rogue is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to ask whether the free shift-selector-knob inspection and replacement is open for your VIN; this repair addresses shifting out of Park without pressing the brake pedal.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V775 when you call.
- Set the parking brake before leaving the vehicle until the dealer confirms the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Nissan's remedy says owners were notified after the recall began on January 15, 2016. At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the shift selector knob and replaces it as needed, free of charge. Because this record does not provide a current remedy status, confirm appointment timing with the dealer after your VIN is checked. The final dealer repair is free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall.
