What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a vehicle safety defect (increased stopping distance) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Nissan Pathfinder, model year 2013 Infiniti JX35, and model year 2014 Infiniti QX60 vehicles. The recall covers approximately 151,695 vehicles manufactured between September 2011 and September 2013. Specifically, the affected Nissan Pathfinder vehicles were manufactured from April 18, 2012, through September 20, 2013; Infiniti JX35 vehicles from September 15, 2011, through January 16, 2013; and Infiniti QX60 vehicles from January 17, 2013, through September 20, 2013.

The defect involves the antilock brake system (ABS) brake pressure output software. In the affected vehicles, during light braking on rough roads, this software may lead to an increase in stopping distance. The increased stopping distance may increase the risk of a crash.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ABS free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2013. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
