The problem
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 titan, armada, and Infiniti qx56, and model year 2008-2009 Nissan quest vehicles. The brake pedal pivot pin end was not spin-formed to specification during the manufacturing process of the brake pedal assembly. The pivot pin could slide and cause the brake pedal to partially disengage from the brake pedal bracket.
The risk
The driver will experience unusual and noticeable looseness in the pedal and a reduction in braking force increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect to see if the pivot pin had been formed properly and will replace the brake pedal assembly if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on March 22, 2010. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
