What's wrong?
The front brake caliper assembly on a 2025 QX60, Pathfinder, or Murano holds the brake pads at the front wheel. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure moves the caliper so the pads squeeze the brake rotor. That clamping force is what slows the vehicle in a controlled, even way.
On affected vehicles, a supplier production issue left one or both front brake caliper assemblies with reduced strength. A weakened caliper assembly can break under braking load. When that happens, the brake at that wheel no longer applies force as designed, which leaves the vehicle with uneven braking performance.
Owners can notice the vehicle pulling or braking unevenly when slowing down. The "Low Brake Fluid" warning light can also illuminate in certain cases.
Who's affected?
Covers QX60, Pathfinder, and Murano SUV lines using the same front right brake caliper assembly.

|---|---|

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A broken front brake caliper can cause loss of front brake function and increase the risk of a crash. If braking feels uneven or the Low Brake Fluid warning light appears, slow down, leave extra stopping room, and schedule the inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised INFINITI dealer.
