I'm almost 400,000 the cars that Nissan finds itself having to recall due to a serious fire risk, a huge number of cars for a very serious problem, which makes this 2019 even harder for the Japanese house.

Nissan in free fall and its effect on Renault

The cause of the problem detected by Nissan would be to be found in an imperfection in the seal of the ABS pump, which could cause a leak of fluids that, coming into contact with the electrical circuits located near the pump, could cause dangerous short circuits: a situation that, as Nissan concluded, has the potential to turn into a fire.

The recall therefore concerns 394,000 vehicles between Nissan Pathfinder (2017-2018), Nissan Maxima (2016-2017), Nissan Murano (2015-2016) and the Infiniti QX60 of 2017. For all owners of these vehicles, the invitation issued by Nissan is quite alarming: if the ABS warning light turns on and stays on for more than 10 seconds, Nisan strongly advises you to “Park the vehicle outside, away from other vehicles and structures, and avoid driving the vehicle. "

The company will release more updates about the issue by December 2, in the meantime it will begin to contact the owners of the vehicles in question to replace the ABS actuator with a new one designed from scratch.
