Recalls
In February 2012, Nissan recalled 2,983 MY 2012 versions of the Murano and Rogue, because the tire pressure monitoring system was not activated when the cars were assembled.
[15]
2014 model year update
Rogue Select
The Select is a continuation of the first generation Rogue sold alongside an all new Rogue that went on sale in 2013 as a 2014 model. Since the production capacity allowed for the first generation to be built in conjunction with the 2nd generation, it allows for a lower entry price to Rogue customers as well as fleet sales. It went on sale in January 2014 as 2014 model year vehicle and was continued through 2015. Nissan has since announced that 2015 will be the final year.
[16] The Rogue Select is not offered in Canada, however.
Rogue Select was built in Kyushu, Japan plant.
