What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the engine may shut off unexpectedly while driving, which the source text explicitly states increases the risk of a crash.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2013-2014 Juke, 2013-2014 Cube, and 2014 Versa Sedan vehicles.
