Technical Incident Report: Electrical Component Failure Reference: Technical Service Bulletin NTB19-004 Part Number: 873D6-5AA6A (Control Unit/Actuator) Incident Overview On 2/16/26, the vehicle was being operated by the primary driver when a suspected electrical failure occurred. Upon subsequent inspection, the 873D6-5AA6A control unit and its associated wiring harness were found to be severely compromised by thermal damage. Detailed Observations: Thermal Damage: The control unit housing showed significant melting. Residual smoke was present during the inspection, indicating a high-temperature event caused by a short circuit or component failure. Harness Integrity: The wiring harness insulation was melted and charred. Due to the extreme heat, the plastic connector had become brittle and lost all structural integrity. Component Failure: During the attempt to disconnect the unit for safety inspection, the connector shattered, leaving the internal wiring of the harness exposed. Documentation: High-resolution photographs have been captured to document the state of the melted housing, the shattered connector, and the exposed wiring.

My wife had bought a new 2025 Nissan Murano two days earlier for our 28th Wedding Anniversary. We were rear-ended at a high rate of speed and pushed into a parking lot and went through a chain link fence and hit 3 parked cars. The front end was also at a high rate of speed. My Wife hit her head on the dash with no dash airbag deployment and My Steering wheel airbag did not deploy. This caused my wife and I to have broken backs I had L2 fracture and Immediate fusion with titanium pins and rods. Wife had L1 fracture front and back. I was airlifted to trauma center and my wife air was not there and they took her by Ambulance to trauma center. this is a defect from factory that needs a recall and don't sell this 2025 Nissan Murano until recall has fixed the issue.

I had no warning lights on prior to the accident occurring.

Seat belt may be defective as it is very difficult to fasten. I think if I were to get into an accident it would fail. I bought the car in 2016 and it seems Nissan may have used a poor design.
