2015 Nissan Murano, Rogue Recalled To Fix Brakes, Labelling

Nissan has issued two unrelated recalls for 2015 models of the Nissan Murano and Nissan Rogue. While the former suffers from a problem with its anti-lock braking system, labels on the latter could cause problems with the vehicle's tires.

RECALL #1: 2015 Nissan Murano
UNITS AFFECTED: 9,614

The Murano recall stems from a problem with the crossover's anti-lock braking system, which was manufactured by ADVICS North America.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:

"[The Murano is] equipped with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) actuators which may have contamination in the solenoid valves, potentially affecting the valves' ability to completely close and allow a build up of hydraulic brake pressure, or fully open and allow the hydraulic brake pressure to completely drop."

Should that happen, the vehicle could have trouble maintaining stability, increasing the risk of an accident.

(If this sounds familiar, that's because a similar problem with ABS valves recently led to a recall of nearly 75,000 Mitsubishi models from 2006-2009. Though Mitsubishi's NHTSA bulletin doesn't contain details about the manufacturer of the faulty ABS devices, it's unlikely that the problems are related, since Mitsubishi's models were several years older than Nissan's.)

Nissan says that it will notify owners of the recall by mail in early August. After receiving those notices, owners will be able to take their vehicles to Nissan dealers, who will inspect and replace the ABS actuator, as necessary, at no charge.
