What's wrong?
The 2023-2025 Nissan Rogue uses a 1.5L VC-Turbo 3-cylinder engine. Inside that engine, bearings support the moving crankshaft and other rotating parts while engine oil forms a thin lubricating film between metal surfaces. That oil film keeps the bearings from grinding against the parts they carry.
On affected Rogues, increased engine oil temperature can break down the oil's lubrication. When the oil no longer protects the bearing surfaces, the bearings can seize and become damaged. That damage can spread through the engine and lead to engine failure.
Owners have warning signs to watch for before the bearing failure reaches that point. Listen for abnormal noise from the engine compartment, rough running, malfunction indicator lights, or warning messages in the instrument cluster.
Who's affected?
The shared issue sits in the 1.5L VC-Turbo 3-cylinder engine's internal hard parts.

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?
If the engine fails, the Rogue can lose drive power, which increases crash risk. A bearing failure can also breach the engine block and discharge hot oil, increasing fire risk. Watch for abnormal engine noise, rough running, a malfunction indicator light, or warning messages. Schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2025 Nissan Rogue is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free ECM software update and engine inspection that address the bearing damage and engine-failure risk.
- Bring the owner letter if it arrived. If not, reference recall number 26V080 and Nissan recalls R25E2 or R25E3 when you call.
- Ask the dealer whether the oil pan needs inspection for metal debris and whether engine replacement is required.
- Keep the repair appointment even if the Rogue drives normally; the dealer repair is free.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician reprograms the engine control module software, checks for diagnostic trouble codes, and test drives the Rogue. When the inspection calls for it, the technician checks the oil pan for metal debris and replaces the engine if necessary. The recall repair is free, including covered parts and labor. Nissan's owner notice includes reimbursement for the cost of a related repair completed before the recall notice on vehicles no longer under warranty. Bring prior repair paperwork and ask the service desk how to submit it.
