What's wrong?
The jackknife key on 2014-2022 Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles is the folding ignition key used on certain S Grade trims. The metal blade pivots out of the fob for starting the vehicle, then folds back into the fob for storage. When it works correctly, the release button controls that folding action so the key stays locked in the open position while the engine is running.
On affected vehicles, the key blade can collapse into the folded position while driving. Nissan tied the issue to Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with this jackknife key before the Intelligent Key push-button system replaced it in production. If the key folds while it is in the ignition, the ignition can move from the run position and the engine can shut off.
The warning sign is a key fob that folds downward without pressing the release button. If you see that movement, the key is not staying locked open the way it should.
Who's affected?

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?
If the jackknife key folds downward without pressing the release button, contact with the collapsed key can shut off the vehicle while driving. A shutoff raises crash risk, and the air bags can fail to deploy as intended in a crash. Drive cautiously and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2022 Nissan Rogue or Rogue Sport is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free jackknife-key spacer repair that keeps the key from folding while driving.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 23V093 when you call.
- Keep the jackknife key fully open while driving, and avoid contact with the key until the dealer installs the spacer.
- Call Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 with questions about the repair or owner notice.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inserts a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife ignition key. This keeps the key from folding while the vehicle is being driven. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Nissan's owner notice includes reimbursement instructions for owners who paid for this key repair before the recall notice. If you've already paid out of pocket for the same repair, ask Nissan customer service or the dealer how to submit documentation under that reimbursement process.
