I HAD THE OCCASION TO BE IN A HYUNDAI RENTAL CAR AND THEIR CAMERA IS AWESOME!!! IT WAS A PANORAMIC VIEW THAT WAS CLEAR ALL THE TIME. IT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE IT WAS AN HD VIEW. NISSAN YOU NEED TO STUDY HYUNDAI'S CAMERA AND MAKE YOURS OVER!!! THIS IS MY SECOND MURANO, 2010 & 2013, AND BOTH CAMERAS WERE BAD. OTHER THAN THIS, I LOVE MY VEHICLE AND THE ONE BEFORE!!!

17V184000 · Steering:hydraulic Power Assist:hose, Piping, And Connections

Mar 16, 2017

Nissan North America (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2014 Murano and Murano Cross Cabriolet vehicles. The power steering hose clamp may not adequately secure the hose, allowing the hose to detach and leak power steering fluid.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the power steering fluid leaks onto a heat source such as hot engine or exhaust components, there could be an increased risk of a fire.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a power steering high pressure hose kit, free of charge. The recall began May 10, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
