The words "The homework before the handshake" in white capitals across a deep blue sky above a grey Nissan Rogue parked in a marked space in the parking lot of the Invista Centre in Kingston, with the centre's stone and glass entrance tower and curved glass wall behind it

Nissan Rogue reliability, in this guide, is read from public records rather than from a rating, chiefly Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database and Nissan Canada's warranty booklets, both read October 26, 2026.

Jim Thompson Chrysler, at 805 Gardiners Road in Kingston, sells new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles and used vehicles of other makes.

Our service department can inspect a used vehicle before purchase and tell you what it finds. A recall count is a listing rather than a grade, so the particular used Nissan Rogue, its open campaigns, its receipts and that inspection are what to weigh.

Our live inventory of used Nissan Rogues shows what is currently available.

Key Takeaways

Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database, read October 26, 2026, lists five recall campaigns under the 2017 Nissan Rogue, three under 2018, ten under 2021, five under 2023, four under 2024 and three under 2025. Those figures are listings, not grades of a model year, and Transport Canada's database says not every vehicle of one make, model and model year is subject to a particular recall.
Nissan Canada's warranty booklets for the 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 model years, read October 26, 2026, print powertrain coverage of 5 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first, and basic coverage of 3 years or 60,000 km, both counted from first retail delivery or the in-service date, whichever is earlier. To Jim Thompson Chrysler in Kingston, those terms are the outer limits of the coverage rather than what a used Nissan Rogue still has, which its start date and odometer settle.
None of the 2017 to 2025 Nissan Rogue campaigns in Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database, read October 26, 2026, is filed under a transmission or CVT system. Transport Canada's database lists recalls, not every repair, so that absence cannot vouch for one used Rogue's transmission; Nissan Canada's 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 booklets place the transmission inside the powertrain coverage.
Nissan Canada's 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 warranty booklets call the coverage "generally transferable" to later owners, and the transfer paragraph prints one exception: it becomes void if ownership changes and the vehicle is registered outside Canada within six months of delivery to the original owner. Nissan Canada's booklets cited here also say maintenance receipts "must be transferred to subsequent owners", so ask for a used Nissan Rogue's receipts as part of the sale.

When Does Nissan Rogue Reliability Count for a Kingston Household?

Nissan Rogue reliability counts on the drives a Kingston household cannot put off: the morning drop-off, a shopping stop before the first snow and a winter visit to family.

The morning drop-off near Division Street means two kids and two backpacks before work starts.

A woman in a mustard coat crouches on the sidewalk with her hands on the front of a girl's yellow jacket, beside a parked grey Nissan Rogue, while a boy wearing a navy backpack stands next to them on a street of red-brick houses with porches

The stop on Gardiners Road for new winter boots ends with three shoe boxes on the back seat of the Rogue.

In winter, the drive to your parents' place in Seeley's Bay runs on back roads that are white at the edges.

How Many Recall Campaigns Has Transport Canada Filed Under Each Rogue Year?

Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database, read October 26, 2026, has between three and ten campaigns filed under each of six Nissan Rogue model years: five for 2017, three for 2018, ten for 2021, five for 2023, four for 2024 and three for 2025.

One campaign can be listed under several model years in Transport Canada's database, which also lists Rogue campaigns under 2019, 2020 and 2022, years not counted here.

Transport Canada's database is a list of recalls, not a record of every repair, and nothing in it rates a model year.

Rogue Sport and Rogue Select do not appear as separate models in Transport Canada's database, which lists the Qashqai under its own name.

2017 Nissan Rogue: Five Campaigns Listed

Five campaigns sit under the 2017 Nissan Rogue in Transport Canada's database, read October 26, 2026:

2016-179, Seats And Restraints: the front passenger seat's occupant sensing could class an adult as a child or an empty seat and switch that airbag off.
2017-509, Seats And Restraints: welds in the second- or third-row seat recliner joints may fall short of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 207 and 210.
2019-090, Brakes: automatic emergency braking could engage when it is not needed, near a metal structure such as a railway crossing or an overhead sign.
2022-675, Electrical: water could leak into electrical connections in the driver's footwell.
2023-078, Accessories: the folding key blade may not stay locked open, on vehicles the database lists as S trim.

2018 Nissan Rogue: Three Campaigns Listed

Under the 2018 Nissan Rogue, Transport Canada's database, read October 26, 2026, lists three campaigns:

2019-090, Brakes: the automatic emergency braking campaign also listed under the 2017 Rogue.
2019-459, Visual System: the rear-view camera display may not return to its default setting when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
2023-078, Accessories: the S trim folding key campaign also listed under the 2017 Rogue.

2021 Nissan Rogue: Ten Campaigns Listed

For the 2021 Nissan Rogue, the list in Transport Canada's database, read October 26, 2026, runs to ten campaigns:

2021-062, Fuel System: the fuel tank's sending-unit lock ring and a fuel line may have been installed incorrectly.
2021-163, Wheels: the wrong wheel nuts may have been installed at the assembly plant, which could let a wheel separate from the vehicle; the database lists the campaign as completed.
2021-245, Brakes: the rear brake calipers may have been assembled incorrectly and could leak brake fluid.
2021-397, Seats And Restraints: the child-seat upper tether anchorages may not be properly welded to the second-row seatback.
2021-754, Fuel System: the fuel pump could fail.
2022-153, Lights And Instruments: the automatic headlamps may not come on soon enough as it gets dark.
2022-398, Visual System: an infotainment reset could leave no rear-view image in reverse, and the database notes that it "only affects certain vehicles sold to rental fleets."
2022-498, Seats And Restraints: the left and right rear seat belts may not retract to their stored position.
2022-599, Visual System: the infotainment system could keep rebooting, so that no rear-view image appears.
2025-356, Engine: the engine may not have been manufactured properly; listed under the 2021 Rogue, the database's note limits this campaign to certain vehicles with "1.5 L or 2.0 L variable compression engines," so a 2021 listing does not by itself say that a given 2021 Rogue's engine is involved.

2023 Nissan Rogue: Five Campaigns Listed

Five campaigns appear under the 2023 Nissan Rogue in Transport Canada's database, read October 26, 2026:

2023-307, Seats And Restraints: rear seat belt anchor bolts may not have been tightened on what the database calls "a small number of vehicles," and Nissan's advice in the notice is to keep passengers out of the left and right rear seats until the bolts are inspected and tightened.
2024-129, Airbag: the driver's front airbag inflator could take on moisture over time and fail to inflate properly.
2024-135, Seats And Restraints: the front seat belt pretensioners may not have been manufactured correctly.
2025-356, Engine: the engine campaign also listed under the 2021 Rogue, for certain vehicles with 1.5 L or 2.0 L variable compression engines.
2026-055, Engine: an engine campaign for certain vehicles with 1.5 L variable compression engines.

2024 Nissan Rogue: Four Campaigns Listed

Transport Canada's database, read October 26, 2026, lists four campaigns under the 2024 Nissan Rogue, three of them filed under Engine:

2024-590, Visual System: an infotainment software problem could keep the rear-view image from appearing, on the SL and Platinum, according to the database.
2025-356, Engine: the engine campaign also listed under the 2021 and 2023 Rogue.
2026-055, Engine: the 1.5 L engine campaign also listed under the 2023 Rogue.
2026-056, Engine: a software problem could make the electronic throttle chamber fail, with a loss of power to the wheels, on certain vehicles with 1.5 L variable compression engines.

2025 Nissan Rogue: Three Campaigns Listed

The 2025 Nissan Rogue has three campaigns in Transport Canada's database, read October 26, 2026:

2024-590, Visual System: the rear-view image campaign for the SL and Platinum.
2026-055, Engine: the 1.5 L engine campaign.
2026-056, Engine: the electronic throttle chamber campaign.

What Warranty Terms Does Nissan Canada Print for the Rogue's Model Years?

Nissan Canada's warranty booklets for the 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 model years, read October 26, 2026, print the same basic term and the same powertrain term for gasoline engines in each edition (the 2017 and 2018 booklets also print a separate diesel powertrain term): basic coverage of 3 years or 60,000 km and powertrain coverage of 5 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first. Nissan Canada's booklets cover Nissan's models as a group rather than naming the Rogue.

Nissan Canada's warranty look-up, read October 26, 2026, offered no Canadian-market booklet for the 2025 model year, so no 2025 term appears in this guide.

Each of Nissan Canada's 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 warranty booklets prints the following coverage terms:

Coverage	Term in the booklets
Basic	3 years or 60,000 km
Powertrain	5 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first
Supplemental restraint system	5 years or 100,000 km
Corrosion perforation	5 years, unlimited distance
Seat belts	10 years, unlimited distance
Roadside assistance	36 months

Nissan Canada's booklets cited here leave tires to the tire maker's warranty.

Wear items such as brake pads, filters and wiper inserts are not covered when they wear out, only when the failure of a covered part makes them unusable, Nissan Canada's booklets cited here say.

The Start Date on a Used Rogue's Coverage

Each of Nissan Canada's booklets cited here starts the coverage on the earlier of two dates: first delivery to the original retail buyer, or the day the vehicle was put into service. On a used Nissan Rogue, that clock began before you bought it.

How much of that coverage a particular used Rogue still carries is a matter of arithmetic: its start date against the years, and its odometer against the kilometers.

Pin down the in-service date early in your search.

Passing the Coverage to a Later Owner

Nissan Canada's 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 booklets call the warranty "generally transferable" to later owners, so a used Nissan Rogue can carry what is left of it to you. The transfer paragraph in each prints one exception: if ownership changes and the vehicle is registered outside Canada within six months of delivery to the original owner, the warranty is void rather than transferred.

Where the Transmission Sits in the Coverage

For a Nissan Rogue, as for Nissan's other models, Nissan Canada's booklets cited here list the transmission and trans-axle inside the powertrain coverage, naming the "case and all internal parts, torque converter and converter housing, automatic transmission control module." None of the 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 or 2026 booklets names a continuously variable transmission or prints a separate term for one.

The Government of Canada's Fuel Consumption Ratings, read October 26, 2026, list a continuously variable transmission on each Nissan Rogue entry in the gasoline tables for 2017 to 2026.

Which Nissan Rogue Years Should You Avoid?

The public records in this guide do not rank Rogue years or tell a buyer to avoid one: Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database, read October 26, 2026, lists campaigns under every Rogue model year this guide counts from 2017 to 2025, and a count is not a grade.

A longer campaign list under one year says nothing about whether a particular Rogue from that year still needs any of the work.

One used Rogue differs from the next in whether its campaigns have been completed, what its maintenance record shows, how it came through its winters and what an inspection finds.

Which Nissan Rogue Reliability Checks Can You Run Before Buying in Kingston?

The Nissan Rogue reliability checks for a Kingston buyer are the underside after salt season, a cold start, open campaigns on the vehicle's VIN, the receipts and a pre-purchase inspection.

Salt, Cold Mornings and the Corrosion Clause

A Nissan Rogue that has spent its winters in Kingston has seen salted roads and cold mornings.

Nissan Canada's 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 warranty booklets give corrosion perforation coverage of 5 years with unlimited distance, but exclude rust "caused by environmental fallout, or, hail, tree sap, salt."

Crouch beside each wheel of the Rogue with your phone's light on, and look at the suspension parts and the metal around them for rust heavy enough to leave orange dust on your fingers.

Start the Rogue yourself before anyone has warmed it up, and note any noise or dash light you would want explained.

Open Campaigns and the VIN

A campaign listed under a Nissan Rogue model year covers certain vehicles, not every one built that year, so the year's list in this guide cannot tell you whether one Rogue still has work outstanding.

Find out from Nissan Canada whether any campaign listed for a used Rogue's model year is still open on its VIN.

Several engine campaigns name the engines they cover, so a particular Rogue's engine and VIN are what place it inside such a campaign or outside it.

Receipts and a Private Sale

Receipts count twice on a used Nissan Rogue: as a record of its upkeep, and as part of keeping any remaining factory coverage in order.

Nissan Canada's 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 booklets exclude failures caused by a lack of required maintenance, and they say maintenance receipts "must be transferred to subsequent owners."

On a private sale, set the Used Vehicle Information Package on the table next to the receipts.

Booking the Inspection

Our service department can inspect a used vehicle before purchase and tell you what it finds.

Who Needs More Than This Nissan Rogue Reliability Guide Gives?

A shopper who needs a published reliability score, a ranked list of Rogue years or a walk through Rogue grades and features needs more than this Nissan Rogue reliability guide gives: it is built on public records and checks on the particular vehicle.

This guide's checks end in a pre-purchase inspection of the used Nissan Rogue, and a buyer who refuses one gets only part of their value.

Being the First Name on the Ownership

A new Jeep Cherokee puts your name first on its ownership; on a used Nissan Rogue, that first line already carries another name.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Can You Judge Nissan Rogue Reliability Without a Rating?

Judge Nissan Rogue reliability by the public record and the particular vehicle: Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database, read October 26, 2026, lists the recall campaigns filed under each Rogue model year, where it has any, and Nissan Canada's warranty booklets print the coverage terms. A pre-purchase inspection of one used Rogue adds what neither record shows.

Does a Longer Recall List Make a Nissan Rogue Year One to Skip?

No: a recall count is what Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database lists under a Nissan Rogue model year, read October 26, 2026, and not a measure of how good that year is. Transport Canada's database says not every vehicle of a make, model and model year is subject to a given recall.

Is a Nissan Rogue Transmission Recall Listed in Canada?

Not in Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database for 2017 to 2025, read October 26, 2026: none of its Rogue campaigns is filed under a transmission or CVT system. Transport Canada's database lists recalls rather than every repair, so it cannot vouch for one used Rogue's transmission; its service receipts and a pre-purchase inspection can tell you more.

Does Nissan Canada's Warranty Pass to the Next Owner of a Used Rogue?

Generally, yes: Nissan Canada's 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026 warranty booklets call the coverage "generally transferable" to later owners, but void if ownership changes and the vehicle is registered outside Canada within six months of first delivery. What remains on one used Nissan Rogue is measured from its in-service date and against its odometer.

Can You Look Up Open Recalls on a Used Nissan Rogue Yourself?

Partly: Transport Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database, read October 26, 2026, lists Nissan Rogue campaigns by model year, but a campaign covers certain vehicles rather than every one of a year. Nissan Canada can tell you, from one used Rogue's VIN, whether a campaign is still open on it.
