Fuel system, gasoline
NHTSA campaign 12V069000 · reported February 24, 2012 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 79,275 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 juke, infiniti qx and infiniti m vehicles. The fuel pressure sensors may not have been tightened to the correct specification. As a result, the fuel pressure sensor may loosen due to heat and vibration causing fuel to leak.
The risk

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pressure sensors, as necessary, free of charge. The safety recall began on april 2, 2012. Owners may contact nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
Engine and engine cooling
NHTSA campaign 11V592000 · reported December 19, 2011 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 14,718 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
