Filing in context

This filing is one of 35 Nissan notifications from 2014 in this archive. For scale, 1,764 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 years and 9 months.
Defect
The drive motor inverter control computer software is incorrectly programmed. When the computer receives signals for automatic transmission gear position and related data, it may incorrectly identify a communication fault. As a result, the warning lamp illuminates and, in the worst case, the drive motor shuts down, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the drive motor inverter control computer software.
