Safety recalls — NHTSA campaigns

19V807000 2019-11-08 Do not drive
Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Nissan Murano, 2016-2018 Nissan Maxima, and 2017-2019 Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and unrepaired, or inspected and determined to not need a repair, under recall number 18V-601. In addition, this recall expands the previous population. The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) actuator pumps may allow brake fluid to leak onto an internal circuit board.

A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.

16V244000 2016-04-26
Air bags:sensor:occupant classification

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied.

If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.

Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip:control unit/module

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Murano vehicles manufactured December 4, 2014, to March 17, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) actuators which may have contamination in the solenoid valves, potentially affecting the valves' ability to completely close and allow a build up of hydraulic brake pressure, or fully open and allow the hydraulic brake pressure to completely drop.

Under some driving conditions, when the ABS is activated, the malfunctioning ABS actuator could cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.

In owners’ own words

Engine 400 mi 5 mo in service
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CODE NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE POWER WINDOWS OPENED AND CLOSED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.
Engine 20,000 mi 2.6 yr in service
AT 20K MILES IN OUR 2015 NISSAN MURANO, WE EXPERIENCED THE CAR CHUGGING AT SPEEDS UNDER 15MPH, TURNING A CORNER, ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE CHUGGING WAS FOLLOWED BY ENGINE REVVING. THIS WAS FOLLOWED 2 DAYS LATER BY COMPLETE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE ENGINE FAILED. NISSAN CANNOT DETERMINE A CAUSE AND IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION
Engine 64,000 mi 3.0 yr in service
CVT SHUDDERS AT LOW SPEEDS 20 - 40 MPH, THE FEELING IS AS IF THE GEARS ARE JAMMING AND BANGING AGAINST EACH OTHER; IMMEDIATELY RELEASING ACCELERATOR AND PRESSING FOR HARDER ACCELERATION TEMPORARY SUPPRESSES THIS BEHAVIOR. ANY INCLINES WHERE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND RPM FALLS CAN LEAD TO REOCCURRENCE OF THE SAME. HAPPENS 2/3 TIMES WHEN THESE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THE 'D'-STEP ARTIFICIAL SHIFTER TECHNOLOGY IS GOING OUT OF SYNC WITH REST OF TRANSMISSION ROTATION SPEED AND CAUSING THE GEARS TO GRIND DURING THOSE D-STEP ADJUSTMENTS.
Service brakes 2,700 mi 10 mo in service
