Defect summary	Nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 pathfinder vehicles manufactured june 20, 2012, to june 13, 2013.

This may result in the relay remaining in the "on" position, causing the brake lights to remain illuminated even when the brakes are not applied.
