What's wrong, in plain English
Nissan is recalling certain 2025 Kicks vehicles because a warning that's supposed to alert the driver if the car is turned off while still in gear, instead of "Park," may not go off as it should. Without that warning, a driver could turn off and leave the vehicle without realizing it isn't in Park, and the vehicle could then move on its own.
What you should do
2. Contact a Nissan dealer, or call Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
3. The dealer will reconfigure the warning system free of charge.
