SUMMARY:
Nissan
North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Pathfinder vehicles manufactured June 20, 2012, to June 13, 2013.
The brake light switch may have been installed incorrectly causing the relay to make intermittent contact and repeatedly cycle.
This may result in the relay remaining in the “ON” position, causing the brake lights to remain illuminated even when the brakes are not applied.
Additionally, the brake light switch may interfere with the brake-shift interlock, allowing the driver to shift the vehicle out of the “Park” position, without depressing the brake pedal.
CONSEQUENCE:
If the brake override is activated, the driver will not be accelerate normally, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the brake lights remain illuminated, other drivers may fail to stop when the vehicle actually brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the driver inadvertently shift the vehicle out of the “PARK” position without depressing the brake, the vehicle may rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
REMEDY:
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake light switch and, as necessary, replace the relay, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin on July 25, 2016.
Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
