Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components, master cylinder

NHTSA campaign 08V311000 · reported July 11, 2008 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 169,202 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Nissan is recalling 169,202 my 2007-2008 sentra passenger vehicles equipped robert bosch master cylinder. Due to the machining irregularity by the supplier, the internal seal groove in the body of some brake master cylinders may allow for a gap in the groove contact area of the seal.
