Nissan is issuing a recall for over 40,000 vehicles in the United States due to a fire risk associated with a critical electrical component. The recall affects several popular Nissan models, and the automaker is advising owners to take immediate action to ensure their safety.
History Behind the Recall
The recall stems from concerns about a defect in the vehicle’s anti-lock braking system (ABS). According to Nissan, a faulty seal in the brake actuator pump can allow brake fluid to leak onto the control circuit board. If the board is exposed to fluid, it can cause an electrical short, which poses a significant fire risk.
To prevent potential fires, Nissan recommends parking affected vehicles outside and away from structures until repairs are completed. The issue was first identified after several reports indicated an increased risk of fire, prompting an internal investigation and subsequent recall announcement.
Which Models Are Affected?
The recall impacts the following Nissan models, covering production years ranging from 2015 to 2019:
- Nissan Murano (2015–2018)
- Nissan Maxima (2016–2018)
- Nissan Pathfinder (2017–2019)
- Infiniti QX60 (2017–2019)
Owners of these vehicles are urged to confirm if their car is included in the recall by visiting Nissan’s recall website or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) recall portal. Checking the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) will verify if a vehicle is affected by this fire hazard.
What Owners Need to Do Next
Owners of the recalled models will receive a notification from Nissan with instructions to schedule a free repair at an authorized dealership. Technicians will inspect and, if necessary, replace the ABS actuator. In the meantime, owners are advised to follow Nissan’s instructions to reduce the risk of a fire.
How Nissan Owners Can Take Back Control
While recalls have been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, just like this—underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
