Affected Years: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 Nissan Rogue. Our law firm is also investigating 2025, 2026 Nissan Rogue for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the VC-Turbo Engine.
Oftentimes you will purchase a new vehicle, and it is because you were no longer willing to invest the time and money needed to keep your older car, truck, or SUV running. You elect to spend the money for a new vehicle with the thought that you will not be sitting in a car dealership service center waiting area for many years. The cost of the new vehicle and the robust warranty provided by the manufacturer are worth the cost of the vehicle. If you are unlucky and selected a 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue, you might be back at that dealership waiting area sooner than you thought.
Many new Nissan owners are reporting that these vehicles are stalling and will not restart. They have no other option than to have the vehicle towed to their local Nissan dealership and explain that the engine just stalled or lost power and could not be restarted. In many cases, they get their car back and are told the issue is fixed. In a few days or weeks, the Rogue has stalled again and cannot be restarted. If this is what you have faced with your Nissan, please know that Guardian Lemon Law is here to help resolve your lemon Rogue issues.

The Key Factors Of The Lemon Law In California
California Lemon Law was originally known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. It was passed into law in March of 1971. The goal was to offer the consumers in California support when manufacturers were unable to fix a problem and uphold their warranty. To accomplish this, it established an obligation to replace or refund any item that they were unable to fix under the terms of the warranty offered. Known for its use and reference to automobiles, people are surprised to learn that it also covers a variety of other consumer products like homes and appliances. The law from 1971 remains the foundation of the Lemon Law today and still provides consumers the protections and remedies they need if they have issues with a product and its warranty.
Beyond the qualifications and restrictions mentioned above, there is one other item that limits your rights as a consumer. The California Statute of Limitations, updated in 2025, limits the time a Lemon Law claim or lawsuit can be filed, directly related to your warranty and delivery date. If you need a Nissan Rogue engine failure/stalling risk Lemon Law lawsuit filed, call Guardian Lemon Law.
The Time Limit To File A Lemon Lawsuit In The State of California
The time limit for making a Lemon Law Claim or filing a lawsuit has two different calendar dates. The first date is 1 year from the expiration of your original factory warranty, and the second date is 6 years from the date of vehicle delivery to you. The time limit that applies will be the earliest of the calendar dates, and any action must be filed before that date arrives.
The Symptoms And Experiences Of The 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue Engine Failure Issues
The 2021–2024 Nissan Rogues are subject to major recalls for severe engine failure and stalling. A manufacturing defect in the VC-Turbo engine bearings can cause them to seize, leading to complete engine breakdown, loss of drive power, and an increased chance of engine fire.
According to the NHTSA, a bearing failure will not typically happen instantly. Owners will usually receive visible and audible warnings over time, including the following:
- Abnormal knocking or metal noises from the engine compartment
- Rough running or difficult starting
- The Check Engine Light or other malfunction indicator lights illuminating on the dashboard
The repair process that will often be used by the majority of the Nissan dealerships begins with having them inspect the engine and oil pans for metal contamination, and then perform software updates for the computer. If any debris or bearing damage is found during the inspection, the dealership is required to replace the entire engine block assembly entirely free of charge. The best solution is to put this in the hands of the dealership as soon as you can.
The recall details center around the following:
- The core defect is an increased oil temperature in the 1.5L VC-Turbo engines, which can degrade lubrication. This leads to the engine bearings failing, which will eventually damage the engine block
- The specific recall campaigns are NHTSA numbers 25V-437 and 26V-080 and Nissan campaign numbers R25E2 and R25E3
The next steps should be the following checks:
- Verify your VIN by checking if your specific Rogue is subject to recall by using either the NHTSA website or the Nissan website
- Contact the dealership when your vehicle is affected. Contact a local Nissan dealership near you as soon as possible to schedule yourself in for a free inspection and repair if applicable
