Nissan Rogue VC-Turbo Engine May Seize and Fail

NHTSA campaign 26V080000 · Reported 2026-02-12 · Nissan North America, Inc.

critical How serious is it? About this label

Serious: the engine can lose power and lead to a crash, and a broken bearing can cause an engine fire, so get it in as soon as you can, though the notice does not tell owners to stop driving or park outside.

What's wrong, in plain English

Some Rogues with the small three-cylinder turbo engine can run hot enough to break down the engine oil. When that happens, the bearings inside the engine can seize and tear up the engine. The engine can quit while you are driving. In a bad case the damaged bearing punches a hole in the engine block and hot oil is thrown out, which can start a fire. The dealer reloads the engine computer software and checks the engine, and replaces it if it is already damaged.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Rogue is included (this recall expands earlier recall 25V437).
2. Call your Nissan dealer and schedule the repair under recall R25E2 or R25E3; questions go to Nissan customer service at 800-647-7261.
3. Have the software reprogramming and inspection done — including engine replacement if needed — at no cost to you.

Summary
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Rogue vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure.
Safety risk
Engine failure can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.
Remedy
Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software, inspect for diagnostic trouble codes, and test drive the vehicle, free of charge. The dealer may also inspect the oil pan for metal debris, and replace the engine if necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 8, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25E2 and R25E3. This recall expands previous NHTSA recall number 25V437.
