2020 Nissan Murano

The CVT exhibits lurching during acceleration, delayed engagement from a stop, and overheating under sustained highway driving or towing. Some owners report the transmission temperature warning light illuminating on long trips or in hot weather.

CVT fluid drain and refill with NS-3 fluid at recommended intervals (30,000 miles in severe conditions). TCM reprogramming can improve shift behavior. Adding an auxiliary transmission cooler helps with overheating. CVT replacement if damage has occurred.

The AEB system falsely detects obstacles and applies the brakes on clear, sunny days with no traffic ahead. The collision warning chime sounds repeatedly without any hazard. This is especially prevalent near guardrails, median barriers, and road signs.

Front radar sensor recalibration and AEB control module software update. Cleaning the radar sensor area behind the front grille. A radar sensor replacement may be required if recalibration does not resolve the issue.

The touchscreen infotainment system intermittently freezes, displays a black screen, or reboots mid-drive. Bluetooth connectivity drops frequently, navigation becomes unresponsive, and the climate control display may also be affected.

System software update at the dealer resolves most issues. A hard reset by holding the power button for 10 seconds can temporarily recover the system. In persistent cases, the head unit module requires replacement.

Dashboard warning lights for airbag, check engine, ABS, and tire pressure illuminate intermittently without an actual fault present. The lights may appear for a few seconds and disappear, or remain on until the vehicle is restarted.

A full diagnostic scan to read and clear stored DTCs. Inspect and clean ground connections and harness connectors. BCM software update may resolve phantom warnings. Individual sensor replacement if a fault is confirmed.

The 3.5L VQ35DE engine may consume oil between changes at a higher-than-expected rate, requiring top-offs between service intervals. Owners report needing to add up to 1 quart every 2,000-3,000 miles without visible leaks.

Nissan considers up to 1 quart per 1,250 miles as within specification. An oil consumption test at the dealer documents the rate. Valve stem seal or piston ring replacement may be needed if consumption is excessive.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020 Nissan Murano, INFINITI QX60, 2021 Nissan GT-R, INFINITI QX50, and Q50 vehicles. The front steering knuckle or rear axle housing may have insufficient strength due to improper heat-treatment.

The steering knuckle or rear axle could deform upon impact, such as from hitting a curb, resulting in a loss of steering control, or possible wheel separation. Both of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and replace the front steering knuckle and rear axle housing, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 26, 2021. Nissan owners may contact customer service at 1-800-867-7669. INFINITI owners may contact customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
