Nissan Kicks may roll away without shift-to-park warning

NHTSA campaign 24V969000 · Reported 2024-12-23 · Nissan North America, Inc.

medium How serious is it? About this label

A car that rolls away can cause a crash or injury, and while the notice does not tell you to stop driving, always make sure the car is fully in Park until the fix is done.

What's wrong, in plain English

On some 2025 Nissan Kicks, the reminder that is supposed to tell you the car is not in Park may not come on. If you shut the engine off while the car is still in Drive or another gear, you may get no warning at all. You could walk away thinking the car is parked, and it can roll on its own and hit something or someone. The dealer reprograms the body control computer so the warning works again.

What you should do

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Kicks is affected. 2. Contact your Nissan dealer or Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 and reference recall PMA42. 3. Have the computer reprogrammed — the repair is free.
