Nissan Murano Recall 15V364: ABS Valve Contamination Can Cause Loss of Vehicle Stability

NHTSA campaign 15V364, reported June 10, 2015, 9,614 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some ABS actuators in these vehicles may have contamination in their solenoid valves. This can stop the valves from fully closing, which may cause brake pressure to build up, or from fully opening, which may keep brake pressure from dropping. Under certain driving conditions, when the anti-lock braking system is activated, the faulty actuator could cause a loss of vehicle stability and increase the risk of a crash.

Nissan will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the ABS actuator and replace it if necessary. The repair is free of charge. Owners can also contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls on the NHTSA website or at a Nissan dealer, and schedule the free inspection and repair as soon as possible.

Check whether this recall is open on your vehicle

The repair is normally free at an authorized dealer.
