What Happened
The jackknife key in your Rogue or Rogue Sport is a special key with a foldable design. In certain models from 2014-2020 and 2017-2022, this key can fold up while driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the key folds up while you're driving and touches the ignition, it could turn off the engine unexpectedly. This could make it hard to control your vehicle, and in a crash, your airbags might not deploy as they should, which could increase the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will add a small spacer to the key slot at no charge to you. This will prevent the key from folding up and shutting off your engine unexpectedly. You should schedule the repair when you receive the recall notice.
