2009 Nissan Rogue recalls

Electrical system

NHTSA campaign 15V032000 · reported January 26, 2015 · Nissan North America, Inc. · 468,815 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.
The risk
An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.

Steering: gear box, shaft pitman

NHTSA campaign 09V411000 · reported October 19, 2009 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 163,659 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 rogue vehicles. A screw in the steering gear housing cover may loosen over time and could fall out. As it loosens, the steering response of the vehicle may be compromised but the driver will retain steering control.
The risk
The screw may eventually come out of the steering gear cover. If large steering inputs are made with the cover screw missing the pinion shaft may come out of the steering gear resulting in a complete loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect whether the steering gear cover screw is loose and will be retightened to the proper specification. Dealers will also install a cover plate to prevent the screw from possibly coming out of the steering gear. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during november 2009. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

The dashboard airbag light is blinking and will not shut off. I have tried to reset it and it goes off but comes right back on. I have took it to an auto part shop for a diagnostic reading and no code comes up. I see on the internet where nissan has recalled 2008 and 2010 Rogue for this problem but not the 2009.

Feb 1, 2024 · Seats

My air bag warning light is flashing on and off. I’m told by my repair man that the air bag is defective and the entire passenger seat needs to be replaced.
