What the source says

The documented condition

NHTSA lists the 2021 Nissan Rogue in safety campaign 21V286000. The official record says: The rear left and/or right brake caliper assemblies may be missing an internal bushing, allowing the O-ring seal to move and brake fluid to leak. The stated safety consequence is: A loss of brake fluid may reduce braking performance, increasing the risk of crash. A make, model and year match does not confirm that a specific VIN is included or that the repair remains open.

When a car is unsafe

A warning light does not always mean the same thing, but weak brakes or smoke leave little room for experimentation. Damaged tires and certain recall instructions can do the same.

“It makes a weird noise” is useful human language. Diagnosis begins when that language is tied to the exact vehicle and its operating conditions.
