SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE

Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
Your vehicle's anti-lock braking system (ABS) control unit may have a problem with the valves that help control the brakes. This could be caused by the type of brake fluid used in your vehicle.
Risk if Unfixed
If the valves don't work properly, you may need to press the brake pedal harder to stop your vehicle, which could increase the risk of an accident.
Free Fix
Nissan will fix this for you for free by flushing the brake system with new brake fluid and testing/ replacing the control unit if needed. Just contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 to schedule an appointment.

Original — What Happened
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.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — 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.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

Manufacturer
NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
What Happened
The tire pressure monitoring system in your vehicle uses a sensor-transmitter that's secured with a nut. In certain areas with heavy road salt, this nut can corrode and crack, causing the sensor to detach.
Risk if Unfixed
If you ignore the warning light and keep driving, the tire will slowly lose air, leading to a flat tire. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially if you're driving at high speeds or need to make sudden stops.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will swap out the corroded nut for a new, more durable one. This repair is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.

AIR BAGS

Manufacturer

What Happened

Free Fix
Your dealership will use a special tool to check the OCS signal, and if it's faulty, they'll replace the seat cushion with a new one that works correctly – free of charge. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
