- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 14V142000
- Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.

## What is wrong

Nissan North America \(Nissan\) is recalling certain model year 2013 Pathfinder vehicles manufactured April 18, 2012, through October 3, 2012, and equipped with a continuously variable transmission \(CVT\).  In the affected vehicles, the internal oil cooler \(ITOC\) hose may detach from the cooler due to inadequate clamping force, allowing transmission fluid to leak.


## What can happen

The loss of transmission fluid could cause the transmission to function improperly and the vehicle to stop accelerating, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install an oil hose repair kit, free of charge. The recall began on May 12, 2014.  Owners may contact Nissan at 1\-800\-647\-7261.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
