What's wrong, in plain English
In these Nissan Rogue vehicles with the 1.5L turbo engine, high engine temperatures can break down the engine oil. When the oil breaks down, the engine bearings can seize up and become damaged, which can lead to the engine failing. If a bearing fails badly enough, it can also cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to leak out of the engine.

2. Contact a Nissan dealer for the software update and inspection (Nissan customer service: 800-647-7261).
