Due to a manufacturing issue, the driver's air bag inflator may absorb moisture, and cause the air bag to deploy improperly.

    Consequence: An air bag that deploys improperly may not protect the driver as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

    Remedy

    Dealers will replace the front driver's air bag assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's numbers for this recall are PD103, PD104, and PMA34.

Reliability verdict for the 2023 Nissan Rogue

With a 79/100 reliability score versus a 74/100 segment average, the 2023 Nissan Rogue rates above average. That points to generally solid dependability relative to peers, with buyer risk lower than typical for the class. The recall count is elevated, which adds some exposure compared with models that see more limited recall activity.

Complaint patterns show a clear concentration in powertrain-related areas. Engine-related categories dominate the mix, with additional weight in engine cooling, power train, and fuel/propulsion systems. At the same time, a meaningful share falls into “unknown or other,” which makes the overall picture less specific and reduces clarity on where problems cluster beyond the drivetrain.

Overall, the data supports a moderate risk level with above-average reliability but elevated recall activity and a powertrain-heavy complaint profile.
