Vehicles Affected: Approximately 300,000 model-year 2012-15 Nissan Versa sedans manufactured between June 9, 2011, and March 11, 2015; and model-year 2014-15 Versa Note hatchbacks manufactured between April 23, 2013, and March 11, 2015
The Problem: The center-console trim panel may catch the driver’s shoe and delay the transition from the accelerator to the brake pedal, lengthening the vehicle’s stopping distance and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will modify the console trim panel for free.
What Owners Should Do: Nissan will notify owners starting in mid-October. Owners can call the automaker at 800-647-7261 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
