Nissan Murano Recall 19V807: Brake fluid leak can cause electrical short and fire risk

NHTSA campaign 19V807, reported November 8, 2019, 391,479 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Brake fluid can leak from the anti-lock brake (ABS) actuator pump onto an internal circuit board. This can cause an electrical short, which increases the risk of a fire.

If the ABS warning light stays on for more than 10 seconds after you start the engine, park the vehicle outdoors, away from other vehicles and structures, and do not drive it. Contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 for guidance. The ABS actuator will be replaced free of charge by an authorized dealer. Nissan will notify owners, and a second notice will follow when remedy parts become available, currently expected in summer 2020.
