Sun visor mirror plastic retaining clips broke causing mirrors to dangle from wires. One of the wires broke and made contact with the other lead. This caused a short that melted the wires in the head liner and started a fire. The short did not trip a fuse and the only way to stop the short in the wire and resulting fire was to disconnect the car battery.

Please note that I attempted to report this to Nissan today, but the first call I was hung up on after describing why I was calling and the second call went unanswered. At some point between 01/27/2022 and 01/31/2022, it was reported to me that my vehicle was destroyed by fire. My VIN was verified to be a part of the recent recall regarding salt water entering the driver side floor panel and causing electrical corrosion that could potentially result in fire. I did experience my driver floor board becoming wet, intermittently, after driving in rainy or wet road conditions as was described in the recent recall. The car has been completely destroyed by fire. For more information regarding investigation and vehicle location for inspection, please contact: North Charleston Fire Department 843-740-2620 Case# 22-0008846

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that initially, the engine battery had to be replaced twice after an independent mechanic discovered corroded wiring which had caused her battery to drain. The contact then took the vehicle back to the dealer the vehicle where the vehicle was purchased and had a portion of her wiring repaired. Despite the repair, the contact stated that her backup camera and turn signals failed to operate as needed. The contact also stated that a burning odor would emit from her vehicle without warning. As the failure persisted, she took the vehicle to another independent mechanic where they discovered a leak(location unknown) inside the vehicle which had caused the corrosion and was the source of her electrical failure. While watching the news, the contact heard about NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V024000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) which she linked to her failure. The manufacturer was then notified and she was informed that her vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
