Class action claims Nissan should have recalled Rogue Sport models for radiator fan issues.

July 8, 2026 - Difficulties with radiator fans in 2017-2022 Nissan Rogue Sport vehicles have prompted a class action lawsuit alleging engine overheating and failure upon fan malfunction.

The suit asserts that faulty materials in the construction of the radiator fans are to blame.

The class action encompasses:

"All United States residents who own or lease or previously owned or leased model year 2017-2022 Nissan Rogue Sport vehicles purchased or leased in the United States and its territories."

Per the lawsuit, Nissan neglected to implement a recall for the Rogue Sport radiator fans, compelling owners to incur significant costs for replacements.

New York plaintiff Carl Superina owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport. In 2025 the engine temperature rose sharply and the air conditioner emitted hot air. He visited a mechanic after the warranty expired and paid $688.87 to replace the radiator fan.

Texas plaintiff Donna Helton previously owned a 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport. In July 2024 she spent $850.68 on a radiator fan replacement.

Illinois plaintiff Ronald McWilliams bought a new 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport but paid $1,200 in June 2025 to replace the radiator fan.

Pennsylvania plaintiff Tracey Wigg owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport that required a radiator fan replacement in June 2026 following engine overheating. The suit states the repair cost her $726.10.

Florida plaintiff Daniel Sherbaum formerly owned a 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport. His vehicle showed a coolant leak and air conditioner leak. The lawsuit states he received a repair quote of $1,611.37 but declined due to the high cost.

According to the class action, the Nissan Rogue Sports contained defects from the time of sale because of the radiator fans, part number 21481-6MA0B. The plaintiffs maintain the vehicles were unsuitable for normal use and the radiator fans pose a safety risk.

The Nissan Rogue Sport radiator fan lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee (Nashville Division): Carl Superina, et al., v. Nissan North America, Inc.

The plaintiffs are represented by Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, LLP, and Barnow and Associates, P.C.
