Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261. Nissan's number for this recall is PMA66.

The same recall in other countries
This campaign carries a manufacturer code that also appears in another country’s register, which means the same defect was recalled there too.
- Canada: Transport Canada recall 2026250, recorded 21 May 2026 (within a week of the American filing)
Matched on PMA66, the manufacturer’s own number for this campaign, which is the only field the registers share. Exact match, nothing paired on brand and date. The two dates are adjacent instruments rather than the same one, so a difference of a day or two means nothing.
