Buying a used 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls cover this year: a folding key that can shut the vehicle off, liftgate hinges that can separate in a crash, and seat belts that may not properly hold child seats. Complaint volume is low at 35 NHTSA filings, with 7 crashes, 1 fire and 5 injuries logged. The largest cluster of these unverified owner reports is forward collision avoidance (11), ahead of electrical, engine and brakes. No recall here carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning.
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.
- Get dealer proof all three recalls were completed, especially the child-seat belt remedy if you will install a car seat
- On a test drive, note any false or missing automatic emergency braking alerts — the top complaint area
- Fold and use the key repeatedly and confirm the ignition never cuts out while running
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
