The problem

Nissan North America, Inc.

The affected vehicles have a center console trim panel that may catch the driver's shoe and delay the transition from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal.

The risk

A delay in the application of the brake pedal would lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

What to do

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will modify the console trim panel, free of charge. The recall began on September 14, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
