NHTSA recall 24V969000

What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Kicks vehicles. The "shift-to-park" warning may not activate as intended when the vehicle is shut off and still in a gear other than "park." As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 114, "theft protection and rollaway prevention."

Why it matters: When the vehicle is not in "park" and the ignition is shut off, the vehicle could move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway and crash.

The fix: Dealers will reconfigure the body control module (bcm) to activate the "shift-to-park" warning, free of charge. Some owner notification letters were mailed January 29, 2025. The remaining owner notification letters will be mailed at a future date, anticipated, May 7, 2025.
