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.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ABS actuator, free of charge. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available, currently expected to be during summer 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Note: If the ABS warning light remains illuminated for more than 10 seconds after engine start up, owners are advised to park the vehicle outdoors away from other vehicles or structures and to not drive the vehicle.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

TRAVELING I-80 FROM YORK, NE TO LINCOLN, NE, ON JUNE 3, 2019, 11:47 A.M., APPROX. 2 MILES WEST OF HWY 15 EXIT, WE HEAR A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THOUGHT A TIRE OR SOMETHING HIT OUR PATHFINDER. LUCKY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND US AND THE WEATHER WAS HOT WITH CLEAR SKYS. I PULLED INTO A DIVIDED PORTION OF THE INTERSTATE AND INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND EVERYTHING OK. STARTED DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN AND WE HEARD PIECES OF SOMETHING ROLLING OFF OUR ROOF. I INSPECTED THE REAR SUNROOF, FOUND IT OK AND THEN STARTED PULLING BACK THE FRONT COVER OF THE SUNROOF AND REALIZED THE GLASS HAS SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY CALL OUR SALESMAN AT NISSAN TO REPORT THE DAMAGE AND TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HE SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT AND WE COULD HAVE A LOANER TO USE IN THE MEAN TIME.
