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.
