Nissan is expanding safety technology in its lineup, and will offer its Safety Shield 360 bundle to the 2019 Maxima midsize sedan and Murano midsize SUV in a midcycle refresh of those vehicles ahead of a plan to add it to every model by 2021, Nissan announced at the LA Auto Show.
Nissan's 2018 Murano will increase $810 to $31,525 (including delivery fees) and will add several features across all trim grades, including automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and upgraded infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The safety feature will be offered as standard equipment on 2018 Rogue, Altima, Murano, Leaf, Pathfinder, Maxima and Sentra models.
The recall affects more than 56,000 vehicles in the 2013 and 2014 model years.
Nissan’s base model 2017 Murano mid-size SUV will retail for $30,640 and has arrived at dealer lots nationwide.
The recall covers more than 120,000 vehicles equipped with antilock brake actuator pumps that might allow brake fluid to leak onto a circuit board.
In these vehicles, the occupant classification system may not function properly and may mistakenly disable the passenger air bag.
The recall, expected to begin by June 4, covers more than 12,000 vehicles in the 2016 model year.
