POWER STEERING HOSE THAT GOES TO RACK AND PINION IS LEAKING. I CONTACTED SEVERAL LOCAL AUTO SHOPS (AUTO VICTORY, YOUNGSTEDTS, PRECISITION TUNE) AND THEY ALL FIND THE SAME ISSUE. ALL AUTO SHOPS MENTIONED THEY HAD DONE MULTIPLE POWER STEERING HOSE REPLACEMENTS FOR THIS SAME EXACT MODEL. IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN 2013 NISSAN MURANO'S. THE AUTO SHOPS STATED IT IS PROBABLY RECALLED BY NOW BUT IT IS NOT. I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT NISSAN CAN ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT. ALL THESE CARS HAD LESS THAN 50K MILES ON THEM WHEN THIS PART BROKE DOWN.

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.
