What Happened
Your Pathfinder's brake torque member is a crucial part that helps your front brakes function properly. Unfortunately, some 2013 models have a structural weakness due to improper casting.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake torque member fails, it could crack and cause your brake caliper to move, making your brakes less effective. This could lead to a reduced braking performance and increase the risk of a collision while driving.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will inspect the brake torque member and replace it, if necessary, at no cost to you. You'll receive a notification with instructions on how to schedule the repair.
