Filing in context
The Pressure Control/Transmission Unit is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 20 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 35 Nissan notifications from 2018 in this archive. For scale, 1,405 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 2 years and 4 months.
Defect
The master cylinder was designed without accounting for manufacturing variation in the booster's internal spring. This allows the piston to be pushed at an angle, increasing sliding resistance against the cup seal. When the brake pedal is depressed rapidly, the cup seal may roll over and fold. Brake fluid then leaks from the seal into the interior of the booster. Continued use causes the warning light to illuminate and, in the worst case, braking force decreases and stopping distance is extended.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, apply a dedicated lubricant to the master cylinder piston.

状況
ブレーキマスターシリンダにおいて、倍力装置内部のスプリングの製造のバラツキを考慮した設計をしていなかったため、ピストンが傾いて押されカップシールとの摺動抵抗が高くなり、ブレーキペダルを速く踏みこんだ際にカップシールが捲れることがある。そのため、シール部から倍力装置内部にブレーキ液が漏れ、そのままの状態で使用を続けると警告灯が点灯し、最悪の場合、制動力が低下して制動距離が長くなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該マスターシリンダのピストンに専用の潤滑剤を塗布する。
