Component
STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE/STRUT
Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The part that keeps your Rogue's liftgate open is called the liftgate support strut. It's like a metal arm that holds the gate in place. In some 2014-2016 Rogues, this strut wasn't treated well enough to resist rust, which can cause a big problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If the strut corrodes, it could suddenly break, causing the liftgate to fall. This could lead to serious injury, especially if someone is standing nearby.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the liftgate strut with a new one that's resistant to rust, and it won't cost you a thing. You'll get a notice when it's time to schedule the repair.
