Filing in context
The ABS is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 30 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 19 Nissan notifications from 2000 in this archive. For scale, 1,478 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 7 months.
Defect
The material used for the element electrodes inside the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) control unit is inappropriate. Continued use may cause resistance at the electrode to increase, activating ABS during stops that do not require it. In the worst case, stopping distance is extended.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the ABS control unit with a corrected part.
