What Happened
The jackknife key in your Rogue or Rogue Sport is the part that keeps your engine running when you're driving. In certain models, the key can fold up while you're driving, which could shut off the engine without warning.
Risk if Unfixed
If the key folds up while you're driving, your engine could stall, and your airbags might not deploy in a crash, which could increase the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will add a small spacer to the key slot, making it less likely to fold up, and this repair is free. You'll get a notification letter in August 2023, but you should schedule the repair as soon as possible to stay safe on the road.
