Known issues on the 2018 Pathfinder. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two of them cover the same defect: the Anti-lock Brake System actuator pump can leak brake fluid onto an internal circuit board, and the resulting electrical short raises the risk of a fire. The third covers the back-up camera, whose display settings can be adjusted so the rear view image disappears and stays off the next time the vehicle is put in reverse, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 77 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're chasing an ABS circuit board fault or a back-up camera display setting, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2018 Pathfinder.
