Takata airbag recall on other Rogue years

Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.

What this problem usually is

This is the narrower sheet inside airbag problems for complaints about inflator recalls, Takata's above all. Many owners here aren't describing a failure they've seen. They're describing a recall notice, a dealer who doesn't have the part, and the question of whether the car is safe to drive in the meantime.

What got replaced

Few of these reports name the part that was replaced.

What owners wrote

“The passenger airbag is not activated. I bought car 6/11/26 and I don’t believe there was a problem or I did not notice it. I saw online that there was an airbag problem recall in the past.”

Filed Sep 14, 2026

“This is a known issue for the 2015 rogue and a huge safety problem. Nissan needs to issue a recall.”

Filed Mar 29, 2026

“Airbag warning lights consistently flashing on and off. I was told it was a seat belt sensor or issue. Safety related. I know you have other rogues are on the recall list fir this same year however mine does not come up. This us so frustrating as to the rates your dealerships charge. Please advise on the highly safety issue. I want to feel safe in my suv again”

Filed Mar 24, 2025

“My airbag sensor started flashing for no reason. With estimated repairs at $6000, I don’t understand why there isn’t a recall. I see that this is an ongoing problem for Rogues/Rogue Selects.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 5 of 42 reports involved a crash and 7 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
