Nissan 2023 Rogue SL FWD

The 2023 Nissan Rogue is subject to NHTSA recall 26V-080 (Nissan Recall Code R25E2) due to a critical engine bearing seizure and fire risk. The owner brought the vehicle to an authorized dealership for the recall remedy, but alleges the repair was fraudulently executed: the vehicle was processed in only 43 minutes with a recorded 1-mile odometer difference, which the owner contends is physically insufficient to heat engine oil to the temperatures required by Nissan's engineering service bulletin for diagnosing defective engine bearings. The dealership allegedly falsely certified the recall as remedied in federal databases, billed the manufacturer's warranty department for work not performed, and falsified a multi-point inspection and detail service. The owner considers the fire-risk defect unresolved and is demanding a buyback.
