What's wrong?
The rear brake caliper on the 2021 Nissan Rogue is the brake part at the wheel that squeezes the brake pads against the rotor. It also seals pressurized brake fluid inside the caliper so the system applies braking force without losing fluid. Inside the affected caliper assembly, a small bushing supports the bolt nut shaft and helps keep the O-ring seal in the correct position.
On affected Rogues, that bushing was left out during supplier production. Without the bushing, the O-ring seal can shift out of place under pressure. Once the seal moves, brake fluid can leak from the rear caliper instead of staying inside the hydraulic brake system.
The warning sign listed for this recall is a dashboard warning light after leaked brake fluid creates an electrical short. Treat that light as a sign that the brake system needs prompt inspection and recall service through a Nissan dealer.

Not every 2021 Nissan Rogue is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Brake fluid loss reduces braking performance and increases the risk of a crash. A leak can also cause an electrical short that turns on a dash warning light. If you see a brake warning light or notice braking changes, park safely and call a Nissan dealer for inspection. 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 rear brake-caliper inspection and replacement that fixes the brake-fluid leak risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 21V286 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, leave extra following distance, and avoid hard braking.
- Watch for a soft brake pedal, a brake warning light, or fluid under the vehicle, and stop driving if any of those signs appear.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the left and right rear brake calipers and replaces either caliper as needed. The inspection focuses on the caliper assemblies, where a missing internal bushing can let the O ring seal move and allow brake fluid to leak. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected Rogue vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies to prior repair paperwork.
