2022 Nissan Rogue Recall 22V259: Fuel Tank Wall Defect

Recall 22V259 affects 52 2022 Nissan Rogue vehicles with a thin fuel tank wall. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.

Nissan is recalling 52 2022 Rogue SUVs because a manufacturing error left part of the fuel tank wall too thin. Road debris can puncture the tank and cause a gas leak, which increases fire risk, and Nissan dealers will replace the fuel tank free of charge.

What's wrong?

The fuel tank stores gasoline under the rear of the 2022 Nissan Rogue and feeds the engine through the fuel system. Its plastic shell is supposed to hold fuel securely while resisting road debris strikes and crash loads from underneath the vehicle.

On affected Rogues, an incorrect molding parameter at Nissan's supplier left an area on the bottom wall of the tank too thin. That thin area has less material than designed. If road debris punctures that spot, fuel can leak. The same thin wall also affects how the tank performs in a crash.

Nissan's filing says there is no preceding warning. There is no warning sign before failure, so an owner should not rely on a light, fuel smell, or drivability change to identify the defect before the tank is damaged.

Not every 2022 Nissan Rogue is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.

What's the safety risk?

Road debris can puncture the thin fuel tank wall, causing a gas leak and increasing the risk of fire. The tank also can fail to perform as expected in a crash, increasing injury risk. There is no warning sign before the tank is damaged, so treat any fuel smell or visible leak as a reason to park and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Nissan Rogue is included in this recall.
  2. Contact your nearest franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free fuel-tank assembly replacement that fixes the thin tank wall and adds a new lock ring, gasket, and o-ring seal.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V259 and Nissan recall PC887 when you call.
  4. Avoid driving over road debris until the repair is complete, and stop driving if you smell fuel or see a gas leak.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Nissan technician replaces the fuel tank assembly and installs a new lock ring, gasket, and o-ring seal. The recall covers the replacement parts and labor at no cost to you. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, since the affected 2022 Rogue vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
