Nissan North America will be asking owners of certain 2014 Nissan Rogue crossover SUVs to return to their dealership to repair a problem that could result in the vehicle unexpectedly stalling. Certain vehicles manufactured between January 2, 2014 and June 7, 2014 are already subject to Recall 15V-197, but upon further review of warranty data, Nissan is expanding the recall to include vehicles manufactured from the start of production (July 25. 2013) to December 21, 2013.
According to the defect report, the nickel plating from the fuel pump’s casing/cover may detach due to fuel flow, vibrations or pressure. These particles could move into the vacant area between the impeller and the casing/cover, causing the impeller to stop working. If this occurs, the engine will stall and not start.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. Owners wanting more information about the problem are asked to contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. The NHTSA campaign number is 16V-149.
