What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2017 Nissan NV200, Sentra, nv3500 van, nv3500 bus, NV200 Taxi, nv1500, nv2500 van, Chevrolet City Express, 2017-2018 Frontier, Versa Note, and Versa sedan vehicles that have a mechanical (physical) key ignition system. In these models, over time, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move…

Why it matters: If the vehicle stalls, it can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the production information on the ignition switch, and replace it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2018.
