Nissan North America is recalling approximately 712,458 vehicles, specifically 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport models equipped with a jackknife-style ignition key. The internal mechanism of these keys can weaken over time, causing the key to collapse into a folded position while the vehicle is being driven. This defect is dangerous because if a driver accidentally touches the collapsed key, the engine could shut off mid-drive, disabling power steering and braking assistance. Nissan dealers will provide a free repair by installing a specialized spacer into the key slot to prevent the key from folding.
If the ignition key collapses while driving, the driver may inadvertently bump the key and turn off the engine. This causes a sudden loss of engine power and may prevent the airbags from deploying in the event of a crash, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury or a collision.
