Nissan is recalling 2,180 2013 Titan trucks and Nv vehicles because the brake shift interlock can malfunction on models with steering column-mounted transmission shift levers.

What's wrong?
In recall 13V094, the affected part is the column-mounted transmission shift lever in the 2013 Nissan Titan and Nv. The brake shift interlock is a safety lock inside that shifter area. It is supposed to keep the lever in Park until the driver presses the brake pedal, so an accidental bump or pull does not move the transmission into gear.
On affected trucks and vehicles, chemicals used while making the shift lever assembly can interfere with that brake shift interlock. When the interlock malfunctions, the lever can move out of Park even when the brake pedal is not pressed. That means the shifter no longer waits for the normal brake-pedal signal before releasing.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a warning light, noise, or change in pedal feel before the shifter releases incorrectly.
Who's affected?
Covers both Titan pickups and Nv vans from the 2013 model year, both tied to the automatic transmission column-shift linkage.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
If the shifter moves out of park without intent, the vehicle can roll away and lead to personal injury or a crash. Set the parking brake, confirm park is engaged, and schedule the recall repair. Repair will be free at any franchised Nissan dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
Nissan's notice says the recall began on April 15, 2013, but this record does not give a specific repair procedure. At the dealer, a Nissan technician will address the brake shift interlock condition in the steering column mounted transmission shift lever assembly so the 2013 Titan and Nv does not shift out of Park without the brake pedal being pressed. The dealer repair is free once available, and parts and labor are covered under recall 13V094.
