What's wrong?
The rear brake caliper on the 2021 Rogue is the metal assembly at the rear wheel that squeezes the brake pads against the rotor. It also houses the seal that helps keep brake fluid inside the hydraulic brake system. That fluid pressure is what turns pedal force into braking force at the wheel.
On affected Rogues, the left or right rear brake caliper assembly is missing an internal bushing. That bushing is supposed to hold the O-ring seal in the correct position inside the caliper. During supplier production, the bushing insertion step was missed, and the equipment check that should have caught the missing bushing was not active. Without the bushing, the O-ring seal can move out of place and brake fluid can leak from the caliper.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a clear early symptom before the seal shifts and fluid begins to leak.

What's the safety risk?
Brake fluid loss can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the problem starts, so confirm whether your VIN is included and schedule the rear brake caliper replacement 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-brake-caliper replacement that fixes the brake-fluid leak risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one, or reference recall number 23V791 (Nissan recall PC933) when you call.
- Avoid driving if you see brake fluid near a rear wheel or braking performance drops. Ask the Nissan dealer whether the vehicle needs towing.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician replaces the left and right rear brake calipers covered by recall 23V791. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Nissan notes that vehicles previously inspected under recall 21V286 without a brake caliper replacement still need this new remedy completed. Out of pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, since the subject vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
