1/15 Classification: Reference: Date: FE21-006 NTB21-113 December 9, 2021 VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2021 ROGUE; FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGN ID #: R21B8 APPLIED VEHICLES: 2021 Rogue (T33) Check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History to confirm campaign eligibility. INTRODUCTION Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign, on certain specific model year 2021 Rogue vehicles, to replace the fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly (Fuel Pump Assembly). This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Nissan has assigned identification number R21B8 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign. DEALER RESPONSIBILITY It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealer’s inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed. Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not ‘do-it-yourselfers’. Qualified technicians are properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle. 2/15 NTB21-113 REQUIRED SPECIAL TOOL(S) Each dealer has been previously shipped one Fuel Tank Lock Ring Wrench, special tool J-45747 (Figure 1).  Additional tools may be purchased from Tech•Mate online: nissantechmate.com, or by phone: 1-800-662-2001. Figure 1 3/15 NTB21-113 SERVICE PROCEDURE To avoid the risk of death or severe personal injury when inspecting and replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following:  Put a “WARNING: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.  Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.  Never smoke while servicing the fuel system.  Keep open flames, sparks and other ignition sources away from the work area.  Never bend or twist tubes when they are being installed.  After installing tubes, check that there is no fuel leakage at the connections using the following steps: 1) Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning the ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then, check for fuel leakage at connections. 2) Start the engine, increase rpm and check for fuel leakage at connections. To avoid the risk of minor personal injury or property damage when inspecting and replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following:  Perform the operation with vehicle on level ground.  Disconnect the quick connector when the tabs are completely depressed. 4/15 NTB21-113 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 1. Open both rear passenger doors. 2. Lift upward on the seat cushion assembly, in the areas shown in Figure 2, to disengage the seat cushion hooks. 3. Once the seat cushion hooks are disengaged, pull the seat cushion forward. 4. Remove the seat belt buckles from the seat cushion. 5. If equipped with rear heated seats, lift the seat cushion up and disengage the rear heated seat wire harness connectors.  There are two (2) seat heater wire harness connectors per side, for a total of four (4) seat heater wire harness connectors. 6. Remove the rear seat cushion from the vehicle and place it in a safe, clean area, to prevent staining and damage to the seat cushion. 7. Lift the carpet flap on the passenger (RH) side of the vehicle, to access the Fuel Pump Assembly inspection hole cover. Seat heater wire harness connector Carpet flap connectors 5/15 NTB21-113 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 8. Using a suitable tool, turn the three (3) inspection hole cover clips clockwise 90 degrees. 9. Lift the inspection hole cover, and then disconnect the Fuel Pump Assembly wire harness connector. 10. Open the fuel filler cover, and then insert a non-metallic plastic trim tool in the fuel filler neck to release the pressure inside the fuel tank.  The plastic trim tool must be pushed in far enough to open the outer and inner fuel neck doors.  Use care to make sure the plastic trim tool does not fall into the filler neck.

With the Fuel Pump Assembly wire harness connector disconnected, start the engine and allow the engine to run until the engine stops. NOTE: The engine may run 2 – 3 minutes before fuel pressure is fully released and the engine stops. 12. Crank the engine several times to ensure fuel pressure has been fully released. Figure 8 Figure 9 To avoid damage to the ACC power supply, do not operate the vehicle, such as locking/unlocking or opening/closing the doors, within the 3 minute waiting period. 13. Open the vehicle’s hood and place protective coverings on the fenders and front bumper, as shown in Figure 8. 14. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.  Verify the ignition is OFF before disconnecting the terminal.  Install protective tape over the negative battery terminal.  Wait a minimum of 3 minutes before proceeding, so that the ACC power supply may fully discharge any remaining electricity. Negative battery terminal disconnected and tape applied to battery terminal Protective coverings 7/15 NTB21-113 To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the vehicle, verify the ignition switch is OFF and a minimum of 3 minutes has elapsed since the negative battery terminal was disconnected, before proceeding to step 15. Figure 10 Figure 11 15. Place shop cloths around the Fuel Pump Assembly, as shown in Figure 10. 16. Disconnect the fuel feed tube by depressing the tabs and pulling out on the fuel feed tube. HINT: If the fuel feed tube connector sticks to the Fuel Pump Assembly, push and pull the fuel feed tube several times until it starts to move. To avoid the risk of death or severe personal injury when removing fuel line parts, be sure to: o Never twist the feed tube more than necessary to remove. o Never use any tools to disconnect the quick connector. o Never bend or twist the fuel feed tube during disconnection or installation.
