Published May 31, 2016 · Recall initiated: May 31, 2016
Summary
NHTSA records recall 16V380000, published May 31, 2016. Recalling firm: Nissan North America, Inc.; 2013 Nissan Pathfinder | 2014 Nissan Pathfinder — Exterior lighting: brake lights: switch.
What's the hazard
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Pathfinder vehicles manufactured June 20, 2012, to June 13, 2013. The brake light switch may have been installed incorrectly causing the relay to make intermittent contact and repeatedly cycle. This may result in the relay remaining in the "ON" position, causing the brake lights to remain illuminated even when the brakes are not applied. Additionally, the brake light switch may interfere with the brake-shift interlock, allowing the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "Park" position, without depressing the brake pedal.
What to do
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake light switch and, as necessary, replace the relay, free of charge. The recall began on July 25, 2016. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
