March 6, 2026 Bojan Popic

Franklin, TN –  March 6, 2026 – Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) is recalling a total of 318,781 2024 -2025 Nissan Rogue SUVs over a loss of motive power. This defect ups the risk of a crash and injury.  

Recall summary

A throttle body controls the amount of air going into the engine, which determines its speed. On startup, a computer called an engine control module (ECM) tests the throttle valve by closing it to make sure it is able to serve its function while driving.

In the affected SUVs, the test may be performed too aggressively due to a software glitch. Over time that can result in the throttle body’s internal mechanism breaking. This may cause a loss of motive power and prevent gear engagement upon startup. 

Recall risks

A loss of motive power or inability to shift into gear increases the risk of a crash. 

Other Nissan recalls

In February 2026, approximately 26,000 Nissan vehicles were recalled because their doors could have opened while driving.  

In December 2025, Nissan recalled more than 40,000 Sentra sedans whose defective windshields could have impaired visibility. 

The repair

The dealers will update the vehicle’s software. In addition, the throttle body assembly will be inspected and replaced if needed. This repair will be free of charge. 

Notifications to the owners will be mailed by March 27, 2026.

Recall risks

A stalled vehicle can get hit by oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of an injury.  A fire can greatly ups the risk of injury or loss of life.

Warning signs

Before it stalls, the engine might “run rough” and produce unusual knocking sounds. In addition, the failure may trigger a check engine light, accompanied by corresponding warning messages.

Franklin, TN – July 29, 2024 – Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) is recalling 5,929 2024 Nissan Frontier pickup trucks that “may lose steering control.” This ups the risk of a crash and injury.

Recall risks

A vehicle with no steering is impossible to control, leading to a high risk of an accident.

Other Nissan recalls

Steering issues were the cause of a recall in September 2023, which affected over 230,000 Nissan Sentra sedans, as reported.

On a separate note, Nissan is currently being investigated by the U.S. government’s auto safety regulator over malfunctioning airbags, also as reported.

Washington, D.C. – July 5, 2024 – The U.S. government’s auto safety regulator is investigating Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) over airbags that may trigger in the absence of an accident. This alleged defect increases the risk of an injury for the occupants of the car.
