Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some Nissan cars may have a broken engine-start button. The button can get stuck in the “on” position after you turn the engine on.

What's happening? If the button stays pressed while you drive, the car might suddenly shut off. This could cause a crash and hurt people inside.

Does this affect me? Owners in Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia or the UK should check their car.

What should I do? Take your car to a Nissan dealer right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic for help.
