Nissan Motor () Qashqai: Rear Right Wheel Arch Protector May Deform And Rub Against And Damage Brake Hose

Nissan Qashqai Recall Summary Nissan is recalling 25,435 Qashqai vehicles because the rear right wheel arch protector may rub against the brake hose during high-speed driving or when the vehicle is heavily loaded, potentially wearing through it over time. If the brake hose is damaged, brake fluid could leak, affecting braking performance. Nissan will reposition the wheel arch protector and replace the brake hose if needed.

Product

Vehicles: Nissan Motor () QASHQAI. Units affected: 25,435

Reason

In conditions such as high speed and high vehicle loading the rear right wheel arch protector may contact the brake hose. Over time repeated contact could wear through the outer protective cover of the brake hose. This could damage the inner reinforcing braiding and in an extreme case wear a hole in the hose which could lead to brake fluid leakage. Remedy: On affected vehicles re-work the rear wheel arch protector and if necessary replace the brake pipe with new.
