Front brake would retain its usual conditions, however the stopping distance would increase and could result in an accident.

Has your Nissan Diesel been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Nissan Diesel dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
