Nissan Rogue is a North American version of X-Trail which was debuted in 2008. Last year, Nissan recalled 76,000 of this second generation SUV due to fuel pump problem. This time, the company expanded to recall close to 47,000 Nissan Rogue.

The recall is affecting car produced between July 25 and December 21, 2013 and also February 1 to June 7, 2014. WQAD reported that Nissan said the affected fuel pumps have nickel plating that can flake and create loose particles that interfere with the pump's operation. This can prevent the engine to start and also increase a risk of car crash when the engine stops suddely during driving.

Nissan submitted Safety Recall report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NTHSA) on March 10. Nissan described the defect as, "On some of the affected vehicles, in certain situations, the nickel plating material from the fuel pump's inner or outer casing/cover may detach or flake due to fuel flow, vibration or pressure. The detached plating particles may move into the vacant area between the impeller and the casing/cover, causing the impeller to stop rotating."

The fuel pump affected are the ones supplied by Bosch Corp. which was still use the older version of anodized aluminum coating. Nissan also explained that all vehicles manufactured after June 7, 2014 have been equipped with fuel pumps that contain an improved anodized aluminum coating. Therefore, the issue will not affect the car produced after that date.
