2007 Nissan Sentra recalls

Recall 08V-311: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Jul 11, 2008 · 169,202 vehicles affected · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.

Problem: Nissan is recalling 169,202 my 2007-2008 sentra passenger vehicles equipped robert bosch master cylinder. Due to the machining irregularity by the supplier, the internal seal groove in the body of some brake master cylinders may allow for a gap in the groove contact area of the seal. This may result in brake fluid slowly leaking from the master cylinder into the brake booster assembly, causing the brake warning light to illuminate.

Risk: If the warning lamp is ignored, one of the brake circuits on the vehicle may not operate as designed increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the master cylinder/brake booster assembly and if brake fluid leakage is detected, the master cylinder will be replaced with a new one free of charge. The recall began on august 20, 2008. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Lost brakes on the highway luckily was able to stop safely. As you can see in the pic the rear left brake line completely corroded in 1 spot and another spot was ready to completely fail, those spots are incidentally the spots where the line attaches to the body for support, those points don't have the corrosion protection that the entire line has.

Caught on fire under the hood and burned the car very badly. Fire department was called to extinguish the fire. The damage was total to the under the hood components and hoses and wiring harnesses. Car ignition was off while I was in the store for just a couple of minutes and when I came out the car was in flames. I could see the car from inside the store through the window and no one was around it at all.
