Symptoms
Owners of affected 2021 Nissan Rogue vehicles may notice a significant Nissan Rogue HVAC temperature difference between the driver's side and passenger's side center dash vents. This occurs even when the dual or tri-zone automatic air conditioning system is set to "Sync" mode, meaning both zones are set to the exact same temperature, in either manual or auto climate control. The temperature difference must be 5°C (9°F) or greater to indicate this specific issue.
Diagnosis and Trigger Conditions
To confirm if your 2021 Nissan Rogue is experiencing this Nissan Rogue HVAC temperature difference, a technician will verify that the vehicle has automatic air conditioning with dual or tri-zone systems. They will then check if, while in "Sync" mode, there is a temperature difference of 5°C (9°F) or more between the driver (left-hand) and passenger (right-hand) side center dash vents.
