All 2009 Nissan Murano recalls

Newest first. Summaries are NHTSA’s own wording.

  1. NHTSA 18V916000Dec 19, 2018Brakes86,265 vehicles

    Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip:control unit/module

    Nissan of North America, Inc (Nissan) is recalling certain 2009 Murano vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.

    Risk: If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Remedy: Nissan has notified owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid. The HCU will then be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition. If necessary, the HCU will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

  2. NHTSA 09V393000Oct 5, 2009Suspension, Wheels & Tires143,223 vehicles

    Tires:pressure monitoring and regulating systems

    Nissan is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, iowa, illinois, indiana, massachusetts, maine, maryland, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, washington d.c., west virginia and wisconsin. The material in the nut used to secure the sensor-transmitter of the tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) may corrode and potentially crack in areas with heavy concentrations of road salt. If this occurs, the nut may come out of the sensor-transmitter and the tpms lamp will illuminate.

    Risk: If the tpms lamp is disregarded and the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the tire will quickly lose air pressure at a consistent rate resulting in a flat tire increasing the risk of a crash.

    Remedy: The dealer will replace the tpms nut with a new, more robust nut. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before november 9, 2009. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261 and infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

  3. NHTSA 08V521000Oct 7, 2008Electrical System204,361 vehicles

    Electrical system:software

    Nissan is recalling 204,361 my 2007-2008 altima, altima hybrid, 350z, 350z roadster, my 2008 altima coupe, rogue, my 2009 murano, and infiniti my 2007-2008 g35 sedan, my 2008 g37 coupe and ex35 passenger vehicles equipped with continental automotive systems' occupant classification system (ocs) control units. A varistor in the ocs control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the ocs and the air bag control unit (acu).

    Risk: This could result in the passenger air bag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.

    Remedy: Dealers will test the signal between the ocs and acu systems using a special tool to check that it is functioning as designed. If necessary, the seat cushion (containing ocs hardware) will be replaced with a new one manufactured to specification. The recall began on november 4, 2008. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

    Air bags

    Nissan is recalling 16,365 my 2008 infiniti ex35 and my 2009 nissan murano vehicles. Due to incorrect software programming, the air bag control unit (acu) may cause the passenger air bag not to operate as designed if the vehicle battery becomes significantly discharged.

    Risk: This could result in the passenger air bag not inflating in a crash in which it was designed to do so, and increasing the risk of injury.

    Remedy: Dealers will reprogram the acu in affected vehicles. The recall began on february 19, 2008. Owners may contact infiniti at 1-800-662-6200 or nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
