Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 NV200 vehicles manufactured between February 6, 2013, and August 2, 2013. The recall involves 2,529 vehicles.

The defect involves the routing of the wiring harness that connects the fusible link to the battery fuse terminal. The wiring harness may wear through its protective covering, allowing the wires to touch the bracket that holds the fusible link. If contact occurs, a short circuit may result, causing the battery terminal fuse to blow. If the fuse blows while driving, the fuel pump will stop, causing the engine to stop running, which increases the risk of a crash.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reposition the wiring harness and apply a protective covering to it, free of charge. The recall began on December 9, 2013. Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service at 1-800-647-7261 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
