If this happens, the high-voltage battery could overheat. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA short circuit in the high-voltage battery can create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnTo reduce the safety risk, Nissan advises that you should not charge your vehicle and to park the vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed. Nissan will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership, or to contact a dealer to arrange to have the vehicle towed to the dealership, to replace the high-voltage battery module(s) or the battery, as necessary.
