Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2025 Kicks vehicles under NHTSA campaign number 24V969000. The potential number of units affected is 89.

The shift-to-park warning may not activate as intended when the vehicle is shut off and still in a gear other than Park. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention." According to NHTSA, when the vehicle is not in Park and the ignition is shut off, the vehicle could move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a rollaway and crash.

Dealers will reconfigure the body control module to activate the shift-to-park warning, free of charge. Some owner notification letters were mailed January 29, 2025, with the remainder to follow.

Owners may contact Nissan customer service using the details in the NHTSA recall record.
