What's wrong?

The hydraulic brake booster assembly on the 2017-2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid helps multiply the force from your foot at the brake pedal. It uses hydraulic pressure from a motor-driven pump so the brake system does not depend only on leg force. When it works correctly, the driver gets power brake assist and predictable pedal effort.

On affected Rogue Hybrid vehicles, the motor inside the pump housing does not handle heat well enough. Brush temperature rises, lubricant breaks down, sparking starts, and the commutator wears abnormally. That wear can make the brush vibrate and disconnect the pigtail, which is the small electrical lead that carries current inside the motor. If that connection fails, hydraulic assist drops and braking requires more pedal effort.

Nissan says a red brake system warning indicator illuminates if brake assist output drops below the set level. An audible buzzer also sounds, so those are the warning signs an owner would notice before or during the loss of assist.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.

What's the safety risk?

Loss of power brake assist can make the Rogue Hybrid need more distance to stop, increasing the risk of a crash. If the red brake system warning indicator comes on or the buzzer sounds, pull over safely and call the dealer before continuing. Schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid is included in this recall.
  2. Contact your nearest franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free hydraulic brake booster supply unit replacement that addresses brake-booster overheating and loss of power brake assist.
  3. Reference recall number 22V549 and Nissan recall R22A6 when you call.
  4. Bring any Nissan recall notice to the appointment and keep it with your repair paperwork.
  5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking when traffic allows.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Nissan technician replaces the hydraulic brake booster supply unit. That unit supports power brake assist, so the repair addresses the overheating condition described in recall 22V549. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for the same brake booster supply unit repair before the recall notice, ask Nissan customer service or the service desk about Nissan's general reimbursement plan. Bring repair invoices and proof of payment so the claim can be reviewed.
