Recall Alert: Nissan Pathfinder Brake Lights Stay on

More than 350,000 model year 2013-2015 Nissan Pathfinders are being recalled worldwide to prevent the brake lights from staying on.

The Pathfinder brake lights stay on due to the location of the brake light switch which may cause the switch relay to constantly open and close.

The brake light switch relay can eventually get stuck in the ON position and cause the Pathfinder brake lights to stay on without a driver touching the brake pedal.

Nissan says:

"Due to the location of the stop lamp switch on the brake pedal, a chattering condition may occur in the stop lamp relay. Under certain driving conditions, such as frequent stop-and-go driving with repeated brake pedal input, the chattering can degrade the relay contact service life. Over time, this may lead to the stop lamp relay sticking in the ON position."

The Nissan Pathfinder brake light switch recall begins March 1, 2021.

Nissan Pathfinder owners may call 800-867-7669 and use brake light switch recall number PC786.
