Nissan is recalling more than 793,000 small SUVs in the U.S. and Canada because water can get into wiring and in rare cases could start a fire.
The recall covers Nissan Rogue SUVs from the 2014 through 2016 model years.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents that water and salt can enter a wiring connector in the driver’s foot well, causing corrosion.
The corrosion can increase the risk of a fire.
Nissan says it’s working on a fix and expects to have one in the spring.
Owners will get an interim notification letter in March and later will be told when to take their Rogues to a dealer for service.
