The 2013 Nissan NV has 3 recalls, the most serious being a driver's side airbag inflator that can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
Two separate recalls involve the transmission shifter. On vehicles with a steering column-mounted shift lever, a gear selector plate lock clip may have been installed incorrectly, causing the gear indicator to show Park when the vehicle is not actually secured, which can allow it to roll away unexpectedly. A separate shifter issue involves foam used as a sound dampener inside the shifter mechanism that can stick to the lever lock and prevent it from returning to the locked position.

What can fail
A new anti-rust coating used during assembly caused a chemical reaction with the foam sound dampener in the shifter. The foam can stick to the lever lock, preventing it from returning to locked position. This allows the gear shift lever to move out of PARK without pressing the brake pedal.
What the fix does
Dealers will remove the foam dampener from the shifter mechanism.
