Visibility (wipers, glass) Vehicle recall #11V538000 · 2011 · 1,788 vehicles
What's wrong: Due to a programming error, the power window switch controller in the subject vehicles was manufactured out of specification.
Why it matters: The threshold for auto reverse activation is higher than the Nissan specification. Should a body part become trapped by a closing window, a pinch injury May result.
The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power window switches with new ones free of charge. The safety recall began on December 5, 2011.
