Nissan Recall 07V-528: Service brakes, hydraulic – control unit/module

Affected: 2008 Nissan Xterra. Filed with NHTSA on November 16, 2007, covering about 1,115 vehicles.

The problem

On certain sport utility vehicles, the antilock brake system/vehicle dynamic control (ABS/vdc) actuator is designed with one ball in the valve section. Some ABS/vdc actuators were manufactured with more than one ball in the valve.

The risk

In ABS/vdc actuators with more than one ball, it is possible that fluid flow could be blocked and cause a reduction in brake force in one or both front wheels or affect operation of the ABS and/or vdc. This could result in a reduction in brake effectiveness without warning increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the ABS/vdc actuator with a new one. The recall began on December 31, 2007. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
