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 26 Nissan notifications from 2019 in this archive. For scale, 510 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 6 years and 10 months.
Defect
In the ABS actuator, insufficient resistance to brake fluid of unstable chemical composition—including types other than those specified—allows a gel-like substance to form on the zinc-plated surfaces of the valves, degrading valve sliding performance. If a valve fails to close properly, hydraulic pressure drops, causing the brake pedal to travel deeper during brake application. As a result, stopping distance may increase.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, internally flush the ABS actuator and verify operation; if sticking is detected, replace the actuator with a corrected part. On all vehicles, also replace the brake fluid with a type that inhibits corrosion of zinc plating, replace the reservoir cap stamped with the brake fluid type specification, and update the owner's manual to reflect the correct brake fluid type.

状況
ＡＢＳアクチュエータにおいて、指定されている種類以外など性質が不安定なブレーキ液への耐性が不足しているため、バルブ表面の亜鉛メッキにゲル状物質が生成され、バルブの摺動性が悪化する場合がある。そのため、バルブが正常に閉じない場合、液圧が低下しブレーキペダル操作時にペダルストロークが深くなり、制動距離が長くなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ＡＢＳアクチュエータを内部洗浄後、作動確認を実施し、引掛りがある場合は対策品に交換する。また、全車両、亜鉛メッキの腐食を抑制する効果のあるブレーキ液に交換するとともに、ブレーキ液の種類を刻印したリザーバーキャップを交換し、またブレーキ液の種類を記載した取扱説明書を変更する。
