A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Rear right brake hose and wheel-arch liner: Nissan Qashqai J11
- Period mentioned
- 2013–2016 (built from 23/9/2013 to 26/5/2016; only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- At first nothing is noticed. Over time a brake fluid leak can appear and braking performance can drop.
- Possible cause described
- According to the UK DVSA (R/2017/295), at high speed and with a heavy load the rear right wheel-arch liner can touch the brake hose; repeated rubbing wears its outer cover, can damage the inner braiding and, in an extreme case, wear a hole with a fluid leak. The EU alert A12/1030/17 (Safety Gate) sums it up as a possible fluid leak and reduced braking performance.
- Check for the garage
- Check the brake fluid level and look for stains near the rear right wheel. Ask a Nissan dealer, with the VIN, whether the recall is outstanding on your car. The dealer reworks the liner and, if needed, replaces the hose.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
