Nissan Recalling 215,000 Cars and SUVs for Fire Risk, Warns Owners to Park Them Outdoors

Nissan recalled more than 215,000 cars and SUVs in the U.S. due to a fire risk and is advising people to park the vehicles outdoors in rare cases.

An anti-lock brake pump can leak brake fluid onto a circuit board, causing an electrical short and increasing the fire risk, according to the company. If drivers see the anti-lock brake warning lamp for more than 10 seconds after starting the engine, Nissan urges them not to drive the vehicles and park them outdoors.

The recall covers certain 2015 to 2017 Nissan Murano, 2016 and 2017 Nissan Maxima, 2017 through 2018 Nissan Pathfinder and 2017 Infiniti QX60 vehicles.

Nissan estimates 56 percent of the vehicles have the problem, which has been traced to faulty seals in the pump.

Some Muranos were recalled for the same problem in 2016.

Chère amie!

Thank you for this. Our neighbor may have a Nissan Murano. Don't know the year. I'll mention this to her.

How you be?

Love to you and yours.....

Not that your neighbor has one, but that this may have reached someone who's affected. I'm hoping that notices were sent out, but you never know.

And thank you, my friend, we're hanging in there. And I have a Chevy.
