I just had mine in today, the replaced the pads and resurfaced the rotors. My service manager said that there will be a recall but she was not sure when. Now if they would only carry more parts so everytime I take it in for something I would not have to turn around and take it back when the parts arrive.

what is brake "judder" ?
how do i know if my Titan'as got that?

A2titan · 03-17-2005, 04:14 PM

660 miles yep. Been really trying to baby it but got caught in some bad stop and go on the eway taking my daughter back to school after spring break. Then I got that feeling. Know this due to being a Dodge Caravan owner which is also under braked. Wound up putting PowerStop cross drilled and a lot better pads and shims on it - huge difference. It just gets me on these heaver vehicles is how common they are under braked. Guess thats what keeps after market folks who really know their business go'n. I also ride around in a 65,000 lb. ladder truck every third day that has front disks, now those are real rotors.

That's great news for everyone with the brake judder problem. Looks like Nissan is going to finally take care of it.
Now I feel a little left out, I have over 20k on my truck and the brakes are great. I hope I get the "Judder" at 35 months. That should be about the time I need new pads anyway.

I noticed the first letter said 2004 and 2005, but the subsequent notices only say 2005 Armada and Titans...Just thought I'd point that out, being as I own a 2004 that's just starting to feel a little funny on stops with just over 3K on the odo.

Thanks Slurppie...my dealer will be seeing that claims bulletin very soon. I'd like to get my brakes fixed before July when we head to Alaska. I'd hate to have problems along the road somewhere.

I was tempted by the Stillens brake setup but I think I'll try out the new fix before I do anything. Money is an issue right now and my wife has forbidden me to spend any more money on the truck.

See page two of the letter, first paragraph. The 2005 notices are for the dealers to include with the warranty paperwork when they sell new 2005 Titan's and Armada's. Probably not too many new 2004 Titan's left on dealer's lots.

Wow that's the post of the year. Thanks a billion.

I'd love to see this news posted as a sticky.

It’s great that Nissan is doing the right thing now but took them a little too long on doing so.

Thanks again

Thanks for the update Slurppie, I wonder how long it'll take Nissan to provide all dealers with parts for our trucks. As it stands now, thousands of trucks are going to be needing this done. Let's hope for the best; may be by the end of summer.

Last week my Nissan Dealer refused to service my "brake judder" problem until the end of May when they had all of the parts (They claimed this was mandated by Nissan North America).

Thanks to Slurppie posting the "Claims Bulletin" for our use, I was able to drop off my truck this morning to get the "Temporary Fix" so I can actually drive my truck until May.

Once again TitanTalk has proven itself as a great Forum/Site.

Thanks again Slurppie...

RockyMtnTitan · 03-18-2005, 08:41 AM

Great news....although I was hoping for a re-design on the calipers, too. But if the new rotors, pads and shims take care of it, no problem. Mine needs to go in for it's 2nd judder fix now at 6800 miles. I'm dropping by the dealer today to show him the bulletin and get on the list.

Thanks for the good find, Slurrpie!

Does anyone know if this will turn into an actual recall or just remain a TSB? I don't put many miles on my vehicles in a year and I'm afraid after the warranty period is up if my truck develops the judder I'll be left to pay for it.

travism · 03-18-2005, 12:11 PM

Recalls are for safety issues. The judder is not a safety issue since the brakes still stop the truck. I expect it to remain a TSB.

blueskys · 03-18-2005, 06:33 PM

I think a District Judge may see it differently. Good brakes are in the must have catagory. Amen!

Good job, Slurppie, you da man.

Now, lets get some part numbers!
