Nissan owner's Manual instructions for defroster operation are incorrect, and may result in reduced defroster performance under specific conditions.
The short version
Nissan North America, Inc. reported a problem with the other owners/service/other manual. Here is what owners need to know.
The Owner's Manual instructions for defroster operation are incorrect, and may result in reduced defroster performance under specific conditions. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 103, "Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems."
Reduced defroster performance can limit visibility out of the windshield, increasing the risk of a crash.
Nissan will mail an addendum with updated instructions on how to operate the defroster, free of charge.
