Nissan Motor Co. is recalling 189,000 sport utility vehicles globally, mostly in the United States, due to a brake issue, a company official said Wednesday.

A problem with the anti-lock brake system may lead to an increase in stopping distance and could cause a collision, the official said. Being recalled are the 2013 and 2014 Pathfinder, the Infinity's 2013 JX35 and the 2014 QX60.

Around 150,000 units are in the U.S. Other affected markets include China and the Middle East. Japan isn't included in the recall.
