Issue: The backup power supply for the ignition switch in the affected vehicles may not have been properly connected. As a result, if the vehicle is being driven and there is a loss of power from the main vehicle battery, the transmission cannot be shifted to "Park" nor can the electric parking brake be applied. In this situation, without the backup power supply, the only way to keep the vehicle from moving is to press the brake pedal. As soon as the driver attempts to exit the vehicle, the vehicle may roll, increasing the risk of injury.

Date of manufacture: July 31, 2013 to January 16, 2016
Issue: The rear liftgate support stays may corrode due to insufficient anti-corrosion treatment. Corrosion of one or both of the rear liftgate support stays could cause a sudden release of pressure. If this occurs, the support stays may break off, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear tailgate stays free of charge. Parts are not currently available.

Remedy: Gulf States will notify owners, and dealers will install an accurate label free of charge.
