CarRecallWatch- Component
- SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
- Problem
- Nissan of North America, Inc (Nissan) is recalling certain 2009 Murano vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.
- Risk
- If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Nissan has notified owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid. The HCU will then be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition. If necessary, the HCU will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov
What this recall means for you
Certain 2009 Nissan Murano vehicles may have a problem with the anti-lock brake system's hydraulic control unit. Valves inside the unit can react with brake fluids containing certain corrosion-preventing additives, which may stop them from closing properly.
If the valves do not close properly, the brake pedal may need to travel farther than normal to stop the vehicle. This increases the risk of a crash.
The repair is free at an authorized Nissan dealer. Dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid, then test the hydraulic control unit for a possible stuck valve, and replace the unit if necessary. Owners can also contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
