Nissan North America, Inc. recall 13V-094 covers 2,180 Nissan vehicles for a lever and linkage: column shift problem, reported to NHTSA on March 14, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V094000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Titan trucks manufactured from January 22, 2013, through February 20, 2013; and model year 2013 NV vehicles manufactured from December 17, 2012, through February 20, 2013 and equipped with steering column-mounted transmission shift levers. Chemicals used in the manufacturing of the shift lever assembly may result in the malfunction of the brake shift interlock allowing the transmission shift lever to be shifted out of Park without depressing the brake pedal.
