Owners notified August 31, 2015 · Vehicles built June 5, 2015 – June 13, 2015 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured June 9, 2015, to June 10, 2015, and 2015 Nissan Sentra and Versa Note vehicles manufactured June 5, 2015, to June 13, 2015.
