More than 700,000 templates Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport are being withdrawn in the United States not because of a problem with the SUV itself, but rather with the key it was sold with.
Nissan has reported that 'S' grade trim versions of the Rogue and from Rogue Sport are equipped with a switchblade-style wrench.

If this occurs, the key fob may unlock and rotate downwards.

Owners will be notified of the recall effective March 17, 2023. Nissan is still working on a solution to the issue, and in the interim, will instruct owners to avoid attaching accessories to the key fob and to use the key in the non-orientation. collapsible until a remedy is available.
