2022 Nissan Rogue Fuel Tank Leak Stop Sale (PC903)

Why This Matters: Safety and Stop Sale

Nissan has initiated a temporary Quality Assurance Hold and Stop Sale for 196 specific 2022 Nissan Rogue (T33) vehicles. This action stems from an ongoing investigation into a potential fuel tank leak. A fuel tank leak can pose a significant safety risk, including fire hazards, and is a serious concern for both Nissan and potential owners.

What's Being Investigated

Nissan is currently investigating a potential concern with the fuel tank in certain 2022 Rogue models. While the exact nature of the potential defect is still under review, the immediate action is a precautionary measure to ensure customer safety and satisfaction. The affected vehicles are currently in dealer inventory or are in transit to dealers, meaning they have not yet been delivered to customers. This Quality Assurance Hold prevents these vehicles from being sold or driven until the investigation is complete and any necessary remedies are applied.

How to Check if Your Vehicle is Affected

This Quality Assurance Hold primarily impacts new 2022 Nissan Rogue vehicles that are still in dealer inventory or in transit. If you have recently purchased a 2022 Rogue or are awaiting delivery, you should contact your Nissan dealer immediately. Dealers can verify if specific vehicles are affected by this quality hold using Service Comm or DBS National Service History, referencing Open Campaigns ID PC903. New vehicles in dealer inventory can also be identified using DBS (Sales -> Vehicle Inventory) and filtered by Open Campaign. Dealers should also refer to NPSB 15-460 for additional information.

Important Warnings for Owners and Dealers

Nissan has issued strict directives regarding the affected vehicles. It is critical that these warnings are heeded to prevent potential safety issues and ensure compliance with the Quality Assurance Hold.

• "Please do not drive, loan, rent, sell or trade the specific vehicles in dealer inventory subject to this quality hold." This instruction is paramount for dealers and anyone who might come into contact with these vehicles. Driving or selling an affected vehicle could expose occupants to the risks associated with a potential fuel tank leak.
• Some vehicles may still be in transit. Dealers are advised to continue checking newly arriving inventory for QA Hold applicability, as these vehicles are subject to the same restrictions upon arrival.

Next Steps and Timeline

Nissan is actively investigating the potential fuel tank leak. The manufacturer has stated that additional information on next steps will be provided on or before August 12, 2022. Owners who have purchased or are awaiting delivery of a 2022 Nissan Rogue should stay in contact with their dealership for updates regarding this investigation and the resolution of the potential fuel tank leak.
