Nissan announced on Tuesday that it will recall more than 809,000 SUVs in the United States and Canada that have a faulty key issue, due to a problem that could cause the vehicle to shut off while it is in motion. Affected vehicles include the 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sports, which were all outfitted with "jackknife" keys that could collapse and trigger a failure in the car's power and safety measures.
Nissan has stated that it is not aware of any injuries or crashes that have been caused by the issue. However, failure of the key turning off the car could be dangerous under certain conditions, leading to a loss of engine power, power brakes, and the disabling of the airbags in the event of a crash. The recall affects 517,472 Rogue and 194,986 Rogue Sport models.
