Overview
- Nissan filed two recalls on February 11 covering more than 640,000 2023–2025 Rogue SUVs with 1.5L VC‑Turbo engines for risks including engine bearing failure that can breach the block and broken throttle‑body gears that can cause loss of drive.
- Dealer remedies for the Rogue include ECM reprogramming, diagnostic checks, test drives, oil‑pan inspections for metal debris, and engine or throttle body replacement as needed at no charge, with owner notifications scheduled for March 27.
- Mercedes‑Benz is recalling nearly 12,000 EQB 250+, EQB 300 4MATIC, and EQB 350 4MATIC vehicles due to potential internal failure of the high‑voltage battery that can lead to a fire while parked or driving.
- NHTSA’s rare Fire Risk Warning advises EQB owners to park outside away from structures and cap charging at 80% until dealers replace the high‑voltage battery free of charge.
- Daimler Vans USA also recalled 52,356 Mercedes‑Benz Metris right‑hand‑drive vans (2020, 2022–2023) because water may affect the air bag control unit and prevent deployment, with a dealer‑installed cover as the fix and owner notices expected by March 20.
