Nissan and Infiniti brake pump leak can cause fire

NHTSA campaign 19V807000 · Reported 2019-11-08 · Nissan North America, Inc.

critical How serious is it? About this label

Serious fire risk — you may keep driving normally, but if the ABS warning light stays on more than 10 seconds after startup, stop driving and park outdoors away from other vehicles and buildings.

⚠ Park outside, away from buildings — fire risk. See all such recalls.

What's wrong, in plain English

The pump for the anti-lock brakes — the system that keeps your wheels from locking up in a hard stop — can leak brake fluid onto a small circuit board inside it. Fluid on those electrical parts can cause a short circuit and start a fire. Many of these vehicles were in an earlier recall and still need work. If the ABS warning light stays on more than 10 seconds after starting, Nissan says park outside, away from buildings, and stop driving. Dealers replace the pump unit free.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is covered.
2. Call Nissan at 1-800-867-7669 or your dealer to schedule the free ABS pump replacement; a second notice goes out when parts are available.
3. Watch the ABS warning light — if it stays lit after startup, park outside away from structures and do not drive.

Summary: 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.
Safety risk: A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: 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.
