NHTSA recall 09V431000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with bosch master cylinders. Brake fluid may leak from the master cylinder. If the amount of brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir decreases to below the minimum level, the brake system warning indicator will illuminate as designed and the brakes will not function properly.
Why it matters: If the warning lamp is continuously ignored, one of the brake circuits on the vehicle may fail increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the master cylinder brake booster assembly free of charge. The recall began on December 14, 2009.
