Nissan Brake Problems

Brake Issue

• The recall was specifically targeting faulty brake pedal pin assemblies. In three reported cases, the brake pin was worked loose, resulting in a loss of braking ability or a reduction in braking force. Nissan recalled 540,000 vehicles -- sports utility vehicles, pick-up trucks and minivans -- in both recalls.
