What's wrong?
The second-row upper tether wires in a 2021 Nissan Rogue are metal anchor points built into the rear seatback frame. A child seat's top tether hooks to that anchor. The tether helps hold the child seat in the right position when the seat is installed.
On affected Rogue vehicles, the tether wire was out of position during welding because loose fixture clamps let the seat frame move. That left a poor weld between the tether wire and the seatback frame. With that weak connection, the child seat anchor is not secure enough to meet the required child restraint anchorage standard.
There is no warning sign before failure. The seat and tether anchor can look normal, so this is not something an owner can confirm by feel or by a dashboard light.
Who's affected?
Both component categories point to the left rear seatback and its child-seat tether anchor.

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 rear seatback is not anchored securely, a child seat can shift during a sudden stop or crash, increasing injury risk. There is no warning sign before the problem affects how the child seat holds. Use extra care and schedule the inspection soon. 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-seatback inspection and replacement that fixes the upper tether wire welds for child-seat anchoring.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan sent one. If not, reference recall number 21V474 and Nissan recall PC812 when you call.
- Avoid using the second-row tether anchor for a child seat until the dealer confirms the seatback is secure or completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the rear seatbacks and replaces them if the upper tether wire welds do not meet the recall repair standard. 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 under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
