Buying a used 2018 Nissan Murano? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls apply, and the serious one is a brake pump leak that can cause a fire; it carries a park-outside instruction until the repair is done. The second, a backup camera image that can stay off, is routine. The complaint record is thin — 15 unverified owner reports with no crashes or injuries, though one mentions a fire. Reports spread across electrical, service brakes, and forward collision avoidance without any single dominant pattern.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for documentation that the brake pump fire recall was completed.
- Ask where the vehicle has been parked since the recall notice, and inspect for brake fluid seepage.
- Verify the backup camera recall repair and test the image in reverse.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
