Defect summary | 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. |
Consequence summary | 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. |
Corrective action | Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the abs actuator, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on august 13, 2015. Owners may contact nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. |
