“Abs and front radar lights on cluster. I took the vehicle to the same dealer that sold it to me and they diagnosed the same with a problem on the ABS actuator. The service representative also told me that the front radar on the bumper is related to the ABS system and that the warranty of the vehicle on the electrical part does jot cover the same. I did my research and found that the 2016 Nissan Murano has aa manufacturers recall from the ABS system.”
