Filing in context
The Other (Power Transmission) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 18 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 24 Nissan notifications from 2022 in this archive. For scale, 3,661 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 1 month.
Issue
In the 9-speed automatic transmission (AT), an improperly designed parking lock mechanism — which mechanically locks the wheels when the transmission is placed in Park — may temporarily disengage under certain specific conditions and operations. In the worst case, if the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may move depending on the parking conditions.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the transmission control module to the corrected/updated software. Until the corrected software is available, owners will be notified to apply the parking brake whenever the vehicle is parked; a further notice will be issued once the corrected software is ready.
