## What is wrong

Issue:

When the temperature is below \-10° 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.

Safety Risk:

A windshield that cannot be defogged or defrosted can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Nissan 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 \-10° C.
