50 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with a carbon fiber trunk, the emergency trunk release was not installed inside the trunk. This could prevent a person that is trapped inside the trunk from opening it. Safety Risk: If a person is closed inside the trunk, they may not be able to get out. This could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install the trunk release mechanism.
