Nissan has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2015-2016 Nissan Murano Hybrid and 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid vehicles.
The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HCPM) on certain 2015-2016 Nissan Murano Hybrid and 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid vehicles may contain software that could cause an engine stall under certain conditions. In the event of bearing damage, the HPCM detects the overheat condition and initiates failsafe mode, which cuts drive power to both the engine and electric motor. Without drivetrain power, the customer may experience an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy:
Software is available to repair affected vehicles. The Nissan dealer will reprogram the HPCM with updated software to enable EV only operation in the event of failsafe mode activation, at no cost for labor.
This free service should take less than an hour to complete. However, your Nissan dealer may require the vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule.
Please contact your Nissan dealer in order to arrange an appointment to have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible, if affected.
