Nissan is recalling total of 39,000 2012 Versa vehicles in the U.S. in Canada because of a problem in its transmission, which has been reported to shift out of the park position without stepping on the brake.
“The operator can inadvertently shift the vehicle into gear without the brake pedal being depressed, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to a nearby pedestrian, wrote the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on their website.
According to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 114, a vehicle with an automatic transmission requires “the service brake to be depressed before the transmission can be shifted out of ‘park’”.
The affected vehicles are 2012 Versas with automatic and continuously variable transmissions that were made between June 9, 2011 and Jan. 13, 2012.
Nissan said on Friday that no crashes or injuries have been reported yet. The automaker will be start the recall campaign and notify affected 2012 Nissan Versa owners starting on Feb. 20.
