Electrical Vehicle recall #15V418000 · 2015 · 14,595 vehicles
What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014 versa sedan vehicles manufactured July 16, 2013, to January 29, 2014, 2013-2014 cube vehicles manufactured July 3, 2013, to October 21, 2013, and 2013-2014 juke vehicles manufactured July 3, 2013, to October 22, 2013. When exposed to hot temperatures, the affected vehicles have an engine start/stop button that May stick inside the button…
Why it matters: If the engine start/stop button gets stuck in the housing, road vibrations May cause the engine to shut off unexpectedly while the vehicle is being driven, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will modify the start/stop switch housing, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2015.
