Nissan Murano Recalls

The Nissan Murano has 40 recalls spanning the 2003 through 2025 model years, with the most serious recent issue being a 2025 model year recall where one or both front brake calipers can break and cause a complete loss of front braking.

The 2025 model year also has a software error in the infotainment system that can prevent the rearview camera from displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. The 2024 model year has a separate issue where the rear quarter glass panels can detach from the vehicle while driving and become a road hazard for surrounding traffic.

On 2020 models, two suspension recalls cover related structural failures: the front lower control arm can separate at the ball joint, and the rear axle housing can bend or break from a strong impact such as hitting a curb, either of which can cause loss of control or wheel separation. A third 2020 recall covers the front steering knuckle, which can also deform on impact and cause loss of steering control or wheel separation.

The 2015 through 2018 model years carry a cluster of anti-lock brake recalls centered on the ABS actuator pump leaking brake fluid onto an internal circuit board. That fluid contact can cause an electrical short and a fire, even while the vehicle is parked. A subset of 2015 and 2016 models also has a passenger seat sensor recall where the front passenger airbag may not deploy correctly in a crash. Hybrid-equipped 2015 and 2016 models have an additional issue where the hybrid powertrain control software can shut down the engine unexpectedly, causing a sudden loss of drive power. The 2016 model year has a narrower brake recall where insufficient fluid pressure can extend stopping distances.

The 2013 and 2014 model years, including the Murano Cross Cabriolet, have a power steering hose clamp that can fail to hold the hose, allowing fluid to leak onto hot engine or exhaust components and start a fire. The 2009 model year has two brake-related recalls: ABS control valves can react with certain brake fluid additives and stick open, requiring more pedal travel to stop, and a software error in the airbag control unit can prevent the front passenger airbag from inflating when the battery has been significantly discharged.

Going further back, 2005 models have a fuel tank vapor fitting that can separate and allow fuel to leak near ignition sources, and a steering column that can lock while the transmission is out of park, potentially locking the wheel during a turn. The 2003 model year has the highest concentration of early recalls, covering a fuel tank that can be punctured by road debris thrown by the front tires, a transmission gear selector that can show the wrong gear and cause unexpected vehicle movement, an alternator wire that can break and cause the battery to discharge, an intake air duct that can separate from the engine resonator and cause a stall, and a rear seat belt that can be cut by a seat back hinge in a frontal crash.
