All of the vehicles are were made earlier this year and have a model year of 2011 or 2012.

Nissan has also reported that they will start calling all of the owners of the recalled vehicles to inform them of the problem. These calls should begin some time in January. If you learned that you vehicle is one of the over 14,000 that have been recalled, then you can take your car to your nearest Nissan dealership. All of the problems will be fixed for free of charge.
