This is an investigation, not a recall. NHTSA is looking into a possible defect; nothing has been found and there is no repair to book yet. NHTSA aims to complete a Preliminary Evaluation within 8 months. If a recall follows, it will appear on this site.

What NHTSA is investigating

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received multiple Early Warning Reporting (EWR) field reports alleging inadvertent deployment of the side curtain air bags in Model Year (MY) 2015 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles.  The field reports allege the side curtain air bags inadvertently deploy after the door is shut and/or slammed.  Inadvertent deployment of an air bag can cause occupants to be injured or result in the loss of protection from the air bag when needed in a crash. ODI is opening this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to assess the scope, frequency, and severity of the inadvertent deployment allegations.
