Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Understand the Safety Risk

NHTSA’s recall concerns the Tires component on certain 2012 Nissan Murano vehicles manufactured from November 23, 2011, through January 11, 2012. During assembly, the tire pressure monitoring system may not have been activated. Without an active TPMS, the vehicle may not warn you when a tire is underinflated. Underinflated tires can become overloaded and overheat, potentially causing a blowout and possible crash. Waiting to confirm your VIN or complete an open remedy can leave an important safety warning unavailable. If you are unsure whether the repair was completed, contact the service department promptly for a free recall check and clear next steps.
