Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
Consequence: Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.

Reliability verdict for the 2020 Nissan Rogue
With an 83/100 score against a 73/100 segment average, the 2020 Nissan Rogue rates above average for reliability. The gap suggests a generally solid record relative to peers, with fewer indications of systemic weakness than the typical vehicle in its class. Recalls are limited, which supports a lower likelihood of widespread factory-level corrections during this model year.
Complaint patterns are not confined to a single system. Electrical concerns lead, but forward collision avoidance and uncategorized reports are close behind, with additional activity in brakes and the engine. That spread points to a mixed set of owner-reported problems rather than one dominant failure area, which can make outcomes more variable from vehicle to vehicle.
Overall, the data supports a moderate-to-low reliability risk level.
