Reported at 3,000 miles, November 2017 CrashInjury

My daughter parked my car outside at approx. 10:30 p.m. At 2:05 a.m, it ignited and exploded. My state farm investigator said it ignited due to ABS actuator leaking brake fluid onto the circuit board. I called nissan because there was a recall for this but they claim my car was not included in the recall. I had recently purchased the vehicle and only had it like 20 days. Car was totaled!
