***** Campaign Summary *****

Nissan is committed to the safety and security of our customers and their passengers. Nissan has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is recalling certain MY2017 Nissan Rogue vehicles in the USA to address a potential for dash side harness connector corrosion.

In affected vehicles there is a potential for water to leak and enter the connector.  If this occurs, the dash side harness connector may corrode.  If the connector becomes corroded, electrical current may continue to flow between the connector terminals, potentially causing issues such as driver’s power window or power seat inoperative, All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warning light ON, battery discharge, and/or thermal damage to the connector.  In rare cases, the corrosion could potentially lead to a fire, which may increase risk of injury.

If the customer observes driver’s power window or power seat inoperative, All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warning light illuminated, battery discharge, or if the customer detects any burning odor or smoke, Nissan recommends parking the vehicle outside away from other vehicles and structures and contacting Nissan Roadside Assistance (1-800-647-7261 option 1) to have the vehicle towed to an authorized Nissan service department as soon as possible.

 

***** IMPORTANT *****

If there is a delay between when the vehicle arrives at the dealer and the repair, park the vehicle outside away from any structures and other vehicles, retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes and attach the print out to the repair order for this vehicle, then DISCONNECT the 12-volt battery until the vehicle can be repaired.

Dealers will be able to identify the potentially affected vehicles in Service Comm and DBS National Service History on November 29, 2022.  Owners of all potentially affected vehicles will be notified beginning in January 2023.  The dealer will inspect the driver’s side dash harness connector for corrosion and replace the connector utilizing a harness repair kit if corrosion is detected.  Additionally, lithium grease will be applied to all potentially affected connectors to prevent any moisture intrusion.

Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:

Approximately 0.01%. 1% is used here because submission within NHTSA’s safety portal will not allow a value less than 1%.

 

Description of the Defect:

In affected vehicles, a suspected vehicle water leak can cause water intrusion into the dash side harness connector. If this occurs, the dash side harness connector may corrode and possibly cause issues such as driver’s power window or power seat inoperative, AWD warning light ON, battery discharge, and/or thermal damage to the connector. In rare cases, a fire could potentially occur, increasing the risk of injury.

 

Chronology of Principal Events:

January 13, 2022 – After discussions with Transport Canada and out of an abundance of caution, Nissan initiated Recall 22V-024 to address potential corrosion of the dash side harness connector in Canada and the U.S. This recall was specific to MY 2014-2016 Rogue vehicles due to the potential for water and salt collecting in the driver’s foot fell, wicking up the harness tape into the connector and leading to corrosion. The recall was limited to MY 2014-2016 vehicles only as the production countermeasure that removed the tape from the dash side harness was implemented at start of production for MY2017 Rogue vehicles.

January 20, 2022 – Nissan received a report from Transport Canada for corrosion detected in the dash side harness connector on a MY2017 Rogue vehicle.
Transport Canada requested Nissan to investigate further.

February 2022 through August 2022 – Nissan worked closely with Transport Canada to conduct a thorough investigation of MY2017 vehicles. Nissan initiated a vehicle audit activity in both U.S. and Canadian markets in order to identify and further study the cause of corrosion of the dash side harness connector specific to MY2017 Rogue vehicles. Nissan initially targeted dealer appointments to inspect the dash side harness and connector, and then expanded to include random dealer audits and vehicles being sold at auction. During this time, Nissan provided ongoing feedback to Transport Canada.

September 2022 – Nissan concluded its in-use vehicle inspection activity in the US and Canada and provided the results of their survey to Transport Canada.
During this audit activity, Nissan had confirmed four (4) incidents of corrosion found on MY2017 Rogue dash side harness connector; two (2) US Market and two (2) Canadian Market vehicles.

October 2022 – Nissan provided additional information to support Nissan’s safety assessment of the condition. Further warranty analysis showed certain MY2017 Rogue vehicles produced at the Smyrna, TN plant exhibited potential water intrusion in the vehicle which could potentially lead to the corrosion of the dash side harness connector.

November 16, 2022 – Based on the warranty analysis and discussions with Transport Canada, and out of an abundance of caution, Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall in Canada and the U.S. for potentially affected vehicles.

Nissan had received a total of nine (9) complaints of corroded dash side harness connector in the subject vehicles; however, there are no reports of injuries in the U.S. related to the subject condition.

 

Description of Corrective Action:

Dealers will be notified beginning November 29, 2022. Owners of all potentially affected vehicles will be notified beginning in January 2023. The dealer will inspect the dash side harness connector for corrosion and replace the connector utilizing a harness repair kit if corrosion is detected. Additionally, lithium grease will be applied to all potentially affected connectors to prevent any moisture intrusion.

Nissan will include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy since the subject vehicles are no longer under warranty.
