What's wrong?
The fuel system on the 2021 Rogue moves gasoline from the tank to the engine through a sealed line. Two parts keep that seal tight: the lock ring that holds the fuel pump assembly into the top of the tank, and the fuel hose that connects to the tank at that same point. Both have to be fully seated for the system to stay pressurized and leak-free.
On affected Rogues, a rework step at the Smyrna, TN plant required workers to remove the fuel line and, in some cases, the lock ring, then reinstall them by hand. During that manual reinstall, the fuel line was not always clicked fully into its locked position, and the lock ring was not always seated all the way down. The result is a connection that looks closed but is not sealed.
The warning signs are a fuel odor around the vehicle, the check engine light coming on, a no-start condition, or visible fuel leakage. Any one of those is a reason to stop driving and call the dealer.
Who's affected?
Two fuel-system components are in scope on the same 2021 Rogue build: a fuel-gauge lock ring and a fuel tube.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included in this recall.
What's the safety risk?
A loose fuel hose can leak and raise the risk of a fire, and a full disconnect can stall the engine and lead to a crash. A fuel odor or an illuminated check-engine light is the early warning; treat either one as a reason to stop driving and call the dealer right away. Park away from structures if you smell fuel. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021 Nissan Rogue is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free fuel-hose and lock-ring inspection that fixes the leak and stall risk.
- Park outside and away from structures until the repair is complete, since a leaking fuel hose increases fire risk.
- Call Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 with questions and reference recall number 21V068 (Nissan recall PC791) when you call.
- Bring the owner notice to your service appointment if Nissan has mailed one; otherwise reference recall number 21V068 at the service desk.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the fuel hose and the fuel tank lock ring, repositions the hose if needed, and seats the lock ring correctly. Any fasteners that need tightening are addressed during the same visit. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, since the affected vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
