Defect
Nissan North America, Inc.

The affected vehicles have a center console trim panel that may catch the driver's shoe and delay the transition from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal.
Risk / consequence
A delay in the application of the brake pedal would lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
