Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2013-2014 Juke, 2013-2014 Cube, and 2014 Versa Sedan vehicles. The recall covers Juke and Cube vehicles manufactured between July 3, 2013, and October 21-22, 2013, and Versa Sedans manufactured between July 16, 2013, and January 29, 2014.
