What's wrong?
The wheel nuts on the 2021 Nissan Rogue fasten each wheel to the wheel hub. They provide the clamping force that keeps the wheel seated evenly while the tire turns, brakes, and carries the vehicle's weight. On the Rogue, the correct wheel nuts use a conical shape that matches the wheel opening.
On affected Rogues, the wrong flat washer style wheel nuts were installed because production equipment presented Maxima nuts at the wheel station. Those nuts do not match the Rogue wheel the same way. With normal driving, the mismatch can let the nuts lose clamping force and loosen, which allows the wheel and tire to vibrate.
The warning sign is excess tire and wheel vibration. If you feel new vibration from a wheel area, especially after recent service or at road speed, treat it as a sign that the wheel nuts need inspection.

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?
Loose wheel nuts can cause excess tire and wheel vibration. That vibration can break the wheel studs and let the wheel assembly separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. If you feel unusual vibration, slow down, pull over when safe, and call a Nissan dealer. 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 wheel-nut inspection and replacement that fixes the loosening nuts linked to wheel vibration.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 21V186 and Nissan recall PC799 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair. If you feel wheel vibration, stop driving and contact the dealer before moving the vehicle again.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the wheel nuts installed on the vehicle and replaces any incorrect nuts. The technician also checks that the correct nuts are in place so loosened hardware does not lead to wheel vibration. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Out-of-pocket repairs paid before the recall notice are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
