Nissan has issued a recall for their 2008 Xterra regarding an issue with the brakes.
Make / Models : NISSAN / XTERRA
Model/Build Years: 2008
Manufacturer : Nissan North America, Inc.
Mfr's Report Date : NOV 16, 2007
Component: service brakes, hydraulic antilock control unit/module
Summary:
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.
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.
Remedy:
Dealers will replace the abs/vdc actuator with a new one. The recall is expected to begin on or about November 17, 2007
