The short version

Nissan North America, Inc. reported a problem with the brake lights switch. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The brake switch bracket may be in the incorrect location, which may cause the brake switch to remain on.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the brake switch remains in the ON position, the brake lights will remain illuminated when the brakes are not being pressed, which may confuse other drivers. Additionally, the transmission shift lever may be moved out of the Park position without the brake pedal being pressed, allowing the vehicle to roll unexpectedly.

WHAT TO DO

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a new brake pedal as needed, free of charge.
