NATIONAL — Nissan has issued two separate recalls for several Rogue models due to engine bearing and gear issues.

The affected Rogue models were made between 2023 and 2025, totaling 642,986 vehicles so far, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Both recalls were issued on Feb. 11.

In the first recall, Rogues equipped with the Electronic Throttle Chamber (ETC) have issues in models with the 3-cylinder, 1.5-liter variable-compression VC-Turbo engine.

The ETC issue could cause a loss of power that may prevent the vehicle from moving forward or reversing during a restart, increasing the risk of a crash.

The second recall targets Rogue models from 2023 to 2025 with the same 3-cylinder, 1.5-liter variable-compression VC-Turbo engine.

In this case, engine bearings could fail, potentially leading to a hot oil leak that could start a fire.

Nissan says it will send letters with details to Rogue owners in March.
