What is wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles, the front brake caliper mounting bolts may not be adequately tightened. This could result in one or both of the caliper mounting bolts loosening.
Risk: If this occurs, it would allow the caliper to rotate or separate from its mounting bracket. This could cause the brake to fail, reducing the vehicle's ability to stop. It could also damage the wheel, causing the tire to go flat. Either one of these conditions could result in a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will tighten the front brake caliper mounting bolts to ensure that they are secure. Owner notification began on january 5, 2004. Owners should contact infiniti at 1‑800‑662‑6200.
