What Happened
The key in your Nissan Rogue or Rogue Sport is designed to fold up when you're not using it. But in some cases, it could fold while you're driving, which could shut off your engine.
Risk if Unfixed
If your key folds up while driving, your engine could shut off unexpectedly, making it harder to control your vehicle. If that happens, your airbags might not deploy properly in a crash, which could increase your risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will add a small spacer to the key slot, so the key can't fold up while driving. This repair is free, and you'll get a notification letter with instructions on how to schedule the fix.
