Known problems with the 2023 Nissan Rogue
2 of the 6 issues we track for the 2021–2025 generation are documented against the 2023 model year, and 1 carries a recall or service bulletin.
1.5L VC-Turbo engine bearing failure (recalls + extended warranty)
majorNHTSA 25V-437 (Nissan R25A8/A9, R25B1/B2); expanded by NHTSA 26V-080 (R25E2/E3)The KR15DDT's variable-compression linkage and main bearings can fail, announced by engine knock, metal in the oil, warning lights, and sudden failure, sometimes with a breached block and oil fire risk. NHTSA recall 25V-437 (June 2025, 443,899 Nissan/Infiniti VC-Turbo vehicles) has dealers reprogram the ECM and inspect the oil pan for metal debris, replacing the engine if debris is found; 26V-080 (2026) expanded coverage for 2023–2025 Rogues because heat-degraded oil can seize the bearings. Nissan paired the remedy with an extended engine limited warranty (widely reported as 10 years/120,000 miles for vehicles passing inspection), and NHTSA closed its multi-year investigation in July 2025 after the recall. If you hear a new knock or rattle, stop driving and get the VIN checked.
Typical cost: Free under recall (up to full engine replacement); document oil changes to protect warranty coverage
12V battery drain / electrical gremlins
minorThe stop-start EFB battery runs hard duty, and marginal batteries trigger a cascade of scary-looking warnings, malfunction messages at startup, dead clusters, remote-start failures. Many 'electrical problem' complaints on 2021–2023 cars trace back to a weak 12V battery or parasitic drain from telematics. Load-test the battery before chasing anything exotic, and replace with an EFB/AGM start-stop battery, not a bargain flooded one.
Typical cost: $180–$320 for a quality EFB/AGM battery
4 more issues reported in other 2021–2025 years

About the Nissan Rogue
The Nissan Rogue is Nissan's best-selling US vehicle, a compact crossover whose 2012–2025 run splits into three very different machines with one shared theme: the Xtronic CVT transmission, which is both the Rogue's efficiency trick and its most notorious failure point. 5L QR25DE on 5W-30 with an early Jatco CVT that whines, overheats, and fails often enough that Nissan extended CVT warranties on earlier years, 2012–2013 missed that extension. The T32 (2014–2020) kept the QR25DE but moved to 0W-20 and a newer CVT that still drew a class-action settlement extending coverage to 84 months/84,000 miles on 2014–2018 models; it also added a short-lived Rogue Hybrid (2017–2019) and an AEB system that NHTSA investigated for phantom braking.
5L KR15DDT VC-Turbo three-cylinder, an engine now under two NHTSA recalls (25V-437, 26V-080) for bearing failures, which makes strict 0W-20 synthetic oil service non-negotiable. 3, lug torque stays 83 ft-lbs, the key fob takes a CR2032, and Nissan NS-2/NS-3 CVT fluid (never generic ATF) plus 5,000-mile oil changes are the cheapest insurance a Rogue owner can buy.
