WAS DRIVING HOME AROUND 6AM AFTER A RAINY NIGHT WHEN I TOOK A TURN AND THE FRONT TIRES LOST TRACTION RESULTING IN THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE STRIKING A CURB. THE CAR WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND THERE IS MINIMAL DAMAGE HOWEVER THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING MINOR WHIPLASH AND BRUISING TO THE PASSENGER ALTHOUGH IT FEELS AS IF IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. I'M MAINLY CONCERNED WITH THE AIRBAG BECAUSE I FEEL THAT IF IT DIDN'T GO OFF, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO INJURY UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.

Jan 31, 2018

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Nissan Juke Nismo RS vehicles. Due to a problem within the brake master cylinder, brake fluid may leak into the brake booster, reducing brake performance.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake master cylinder, free of charge. The recall began March 19, 2018. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
