Buying a used 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport? Check these 2 recalls first
The headline recall is unusual: a folding key that can shut the vehicle off. A second, lower-severity recall covers a backup camera image that can stay off. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. What stands out more is the complaint record — 94 unverified reports to NHTSA, but with 8 crashes and 14 injuries attached, the highest injury count among these Nissans. Reports cluster in electrical system (19), service brakes (18) and engine (17).
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the folding key recall was performed and ask what the remedy involved.
- Test the backup camera in reverse repeatedly, not just once.
- Pull a full accident history and inspect for prior collision repair, given the crash and injury counts.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
