Nissan is recalling approximately 134,000 cars and SUVs worldwide due to a brake fluid leak which could cause a fire.
According to ABC News, Nissan discovered the problem after a report of a fire in a 2016 Maxima in early June. After an investigation, Nissan found additional fire incidents and decided to issue a recall on August 24.
Nissans says that the seals on antilock brake pumps can leak fluid onto a circuit board, causing an electrical short and potentially a fire. Nissan is advising drivers to not drive their vehicle if the antilock brake warning light comes on for more than 10 seconds, which may signal that a fluid leak is present.

Most of the recalled vehicles are in the United States and Canada. Nissan says the problem has been corrected since it was discovered.
