When braking from 60 to 70 mph

I have some shaking when appling the brakes to the steering wheel. Is this the ABS or braking assist? I once had a 4Runner and it did the same but only coming down step mountain roads from a ski trip. Will BBK resolve this?

It's basically saying your rotors are warped, have them resurfaced if they have enough thickness left otherwise they may need to be replaced

Because the rotor (warpage?) is not yet severe enough to cause low speed vibration.

It could also just be uneven pad deposits, very common on Nissan's. If thickness allows, have it resurfaced and switch to better pads.

+1 inspect the rotors see or feel if you have uneven pad deposits it's very common. Need to get mine turned/resurfaced soon for this sole reason the steering wheel shakes around 50mph at medium braking

There is a TSB about this, bring it to the dealer. The shaking is always at highway speeds and it is indeed caused by the warping of the rotors. Mine were doing it between 40-50mph the most. Dealership replaced them for free.
