Nissan North America is recalling 1430 model-year 2025 Murano, Pathfinder, and Infiniti QX60 vehicles. One or both front brake-caliper assemblies from Hitachi Astemo Mexico may have reduced strength and could break. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, “Light Vehicle Brake Systems.”
“If one or both of the front brake calipers fail, customers may notice uneven braking performance and the “Low Brake Fluid” warning light may illuminate in certain cases,” Nissan told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the mandatory safety defect filing made public by this morning by NHTSA.
“Due to a supplier production issue that has since been corrected, one or both of the front brake caliper assemblies may have reduced strength and could break,” Nissan said.
Dealers will inspect and replace the front brake caliper assemblies as necessary, free of charge as required U.S. safety regulations still being enforeced thus far by the Trump mis-administration or is that the Musk chainsaw reign? Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed until 9 May 2025.
Owners may contact Nissan’s customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti’s customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan’s numbers for this recall are PD137 and PD138. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to nhtsa.gov. about NHTSA recall 25V173 or 25V-173.
