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 structural vehicle defect (brake master cylinder) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any deaths or serious injuries, placing it in the High severity category.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 Nissan Armada and Titan vehicles manufactured between February 22, 2013, and May 3, 2013. The recall involves a defect in the brake master cylinder, which may intermittently reduce the pressure supplied to the front brakes.

If the front brake pressure is reduced, the vehicle will have less braking power, requiring a longer distance to stop. This condition increases the risk of a crash. The recall affects 3,247 vehicles.

Nissan has notified owners, and dealers will replace the master cylinder free of charge. The recall began on October 21, 2013. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
