Summary
Brake Fluid Flush Voluntary Service Campaign ***** Campaign Summary***** Nissan is committed to customer satisfaction. Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to flush the brake fluid, install new DOT 4 brake fluid, and inspect the Antilock Brake System (ABS) actuator on specific 2009 Nissan Murano vehicles. If the ABS actuator does not pass the inspection after the system has had the brake fluid flushed and upgraded, dealers will replace the ABS brake actuator. A new brake fluid cap with DOT 4 fluid specifications will be installed and an owner?s manual update will be provided to the customer. The ABS actuators manufactured during this time period are potentially susceptible to a chemical reaction between the valve surface coating and the DOT 3 brake fluid, which in rare instances, may cause a gel to form around the normally closed valve and in some cases cause it to stick open. As a result, brake fluid pressure may fluctuate and the customer may experience increased brake pedal travel (soft brake pedal). ***** What Dealers Should Do ***** 1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this Voluntary Service Campaign using Service Comm I.D. P8305. 2. Dealers are requested to repair any affected vehicles in dealer new or pre-owned inventory to ensure customer satisfaction. 3. Dealers should use NTB18-025 to correct any vehicles subject to this campaign. 4. Once repaired, dealers should submit the claim, using the claims coding provided, and release the vehicle.
