What Happened
The jackknife key in your Rogue or Rogue Sport is a special key that folds up to prevent it from getting lost. However, this design can sometimes cause the key to collapse while you're driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the key folds in while you're driving, it could accidentally turn off your engine, which could cause a crash. If that happens, your airbags might not deploy as they should in a crash, which could increase the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will install a small spacer in the key slot to prevent this issue, and the repair is free. You should schedule this fix as soon as you get the recall notice, which will be mailed to you by August 30, 2023.
