In these vehicles, the antilock brake (ABS) actuator pumps may allow brake fluid to leak onto an internal electrical circuit board. This might result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire, NHTSA said.
Nissan dealers will inspect the ABS actuator and, if necessary, replace it.
If brake fluid does leak onto the circuit board, the ABS warning lamp may remain illuminated for more than 10 seconds after engine startup. If this occurs prior to having the recall remedy completed, drivers are advised to not drive the vehicle. Additionally, the car should be parked outdoors, away from other vehicles or structures, NHTSA warned on its website.

Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
