Nissan recalls nearly 400,000 cars in US over potential fire hazard
Japanese car giant says brake fluid leaking on to a circuit board could ‘in rare instances’ lead to a fire
Nissan will recall 394,025 cars in the US over a braking system defect that has caused concerns that a brake fluid leak could potentially lead to a fire.
The leak into internal circuit boards will trigger a warning to drivers, which if ignored may lead to a fire in “rare instances,” Nissan said in an 8 November filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under recall number 18V-601.
