Service brakesRecall 13V-139 · Infiniti and Nissan vehicles
Nissan North America, Inc. recall 13V-139 covers 19,258 Infiniti and Nissan vehicles for a service brakes problem, reported to NHTSA on April 12, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V139000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Pathfinder and Infiniti JX vehicles manufactured December 3, 2012, through January 29, 2013. The front brake torque member was improperly cast resulting in structural weakness. This can lead to premature failure and cracking.
The risk
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. Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service at 1-800-647-7261.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
