Details

What's wrong: The front brake torque member was improperly cast resulting in structural weakness. This can lead to premature failure and cracking.

Why it matters: If the brake torque member fails, the brake caliper may move and contact the inside of the road wheel, resulting in reduced braking, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the manufacturing date of the torque members and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 20, 2013.
