Issue: rnWhen the temperature is below -10u00b0 C, the defroster may not work properly if you follow the instructions in the owner's manual and use the maximum fan speed. As a result, you may not be able to defrost the windshield. rnNote: This is an expansion of Transport Canada recall 2023-045. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA windshield that cannot be defogged or defrosted can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnNissan will notify owners by mail and supply an addendum to the owner's manual that provides the correct settings for using the defroster when the temperature is below -10u00b0 C.
