What's wrong, in plain English

These Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles use a jackknife style ignition key. While the vehicle is being driven, this jackknife key may collapse into a folded position. If the driver then makes contact with the key while it is in that collapsed position, it could accidentally shut off the vehicle while driving. If the vehicle shuts off while it is being driven, the airbags may not deploy the way they are supposed to in a crash.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Nissan dealer, or call Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
3. The repair (inserting a spacer into the key slot) is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 23V093000.
