What Happened
The ignition key in your vehicle is connected to a mechanical switch that turns your engine on and off. Over time, the weight on your key ring or a bump on the road could cause this switch to move and turn off your engine while you're driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your engine could stall, which could increase the risk of a crash, especially if you're in heavy traffic or on the highway.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will inspect the ignition switch and replace it if necessary, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair when you receive the recall notice.
