Nissan has issued a recall for 215,124 vehicles in the U.S. and another 19,761 in Canada over an ABS brake issue that could leak brake fluid and possibly cause a fire. The affected vehicles are 2015-17 Nissan Murano, 2016-17 Nissan Maximas, 2017-18 Nissan Pathfinders and 2017 Infiniti QX60 models.
According to NTHSA, the ABS actuator pump seal may leak brake fluid on a circuit board causing a malfunction and the ABS warning lamp to light on the instrument panel. If the condition is ignored, the leak could cause a short and possibly cause a fire.
There are no known causes of injuries or accidents as a result of the problem and dealers will inspect and replace for free actuator pumps that fall into specific identification number ranges.
