Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a continuously variable transmission (cvt). In the affected vehicles, the internal oil cooler (itoc) hose may detach from the cooler due to inadequate clamping force, allowing transmission fluid to leak.

Why it matters: The loss of transmission fluid could cause the transmission to function improperly and the vehicle to stop accelerating, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install an oil hose repair kit, free of charge. The recall began on May 12, 2014.
