Recall Alert: 56 000 Nissan Cars Recalled

56,000 cars are being recalled by Nissan due to power steering hoses which may leak fluid and potentially lead to fires.

Nissan North America says that the recall affects the 2013-2014 Murano vehicles. The Company says that the problem comes from the power steering hose clamp, which may not adequately secure the hose. This could allow the hose to detach and leak power steering fluid which could lead to a fire If it leaks onto a hot engine or exhaust pipes, the company said.

Nissan says that dealers will install a new power steering high-pressure hose kit, free of charge and owners of the vehicles can contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov. for any queries.
