NHTSA recall 00V288000
Power Train · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: " these vehicles could have a shift cable lock plate that is too brittle and can break. The gear shift lever and the "prndl" indicator may move, but the transmission will not shift out of the park position. Over a period of time, the transmission could shift out of the park position, but the gear indicated on the display may differ from the gear engaged in the transmission.
Why it matters: If the driver selects 'drive' and the transmission is actually in 'reverse', a vehicle crash could occur.
The fix: Dealers will replace the automatic transmission shift cable lock plate.
