2017 NISSAN FRONTIERTransport Canada Recall #2018440
The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles equipped with a mechanical key ignition system, a spring in the ignition switch could wear and break. This may allow the ignition key to inadvertently move from the ON position to the accessory (ACC) position while driving, causing the engine to shut off and the airbag system to lose power. The resulting loss of motive power, and change in steering and brake forces could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Additionally, in the event of a crash, this may also cause the airbags not to function.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the lot number of the ignition switch, and replace it with a new one if it is affected.
