Dec 19, 201818V916000	Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip control unit/module If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. DetailsHide details for campaign 18V916000 What's wrong Nissan of North America, Inc (Nissan) is recalling certain 2009 Murano vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly. Risk If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy Nissan has notified owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid. The HCU will then be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition. If necessary, the HCU will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Campaign NHTSA 18V916000 · Dec 19, 2018
