Nissan recalled Navara vehicles built between 1 October 2015 and 16 June 2016. Under certain unusual conditions the High Mounted Stop Lamp (HMSL) fitted to Navara accessory hardtops does not illuminate simultaneously with the vehicle's stop lamps. The dealer will modify wiring and the supply to the HMSL. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
Under certain unusual conditions the High Mounted Stop Lamp (HMSL) fitted to Navara accessory hardtops does not illuminate simultaneously with the vehicle's stop lamps. During engine start it is possible that a voltage drop can occur which may fall below the HMSL operating threshold. This may result in HMSL not illuminating following engine start.
