Recall 07V-528: 2008 Nissan Xterra
NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Nov 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.
