What This Recall Means

Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION

What Happened
Your vehicle has a mechanical key ignition system that can be affected by the weight of keys on the key ring or road conditions. This can cause the ignition switch to move from the 'run' position to the 'accessory' position without you realizing it.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your engine will stall, and you'll lose power steering and power brakes. You could lose control of your vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will check the ignition switch and replace it if necessary, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
