Nissan (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/) is recalling 18,800 NV vans (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/nv/) built between December 20, 2010 and January 4, 2013. Certain 2012 and 2013 models equipped with a steering-column-mounted transmission shift levers may have been built with improperly installed shift mechanisms.
If the NV's gear selector plate lock clip wasn't installed correctly, normal road vibration could result in a gear position indicator that does not match the actual gear selection. As a result, when the driver selects 'park,' the transmission could still be in gear or in neutral, and roll away. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/national highway traffic safety administration/) says this condition greatly increased the risk of accident and injury.
Nissan will inspect the gear selector lock clip and replace the part if necessary free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the recall (http://www.autoblog.com/recall/) campaign begins on April 8, 2013.
