Recalls

3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Engine & cooling Vehicle recall #11V583000 · 2011 · 28,294 vehicles

What's wrong: The turbocharger boost sensor bracket May separate from the air inlet tube due to a defective weld.

Why it matters: If the bracket comes off, the vehicle could stall while the engine is idling without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will check the lot number on the air inlet tube and replace it if necessary, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about January 9, 2012.

Fuel system Vehicle recall #12V069000 · 2012 · 79,275 vehicles

What's wrong: 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.

Why it matters: Fuel May leak from the pressure sensor, increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix: 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.

Fuel system Vehicle recall #18V156000 · 2018 · 49,385 vehicles

What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2011-2012 Nissan juke vehicles previously remedied under recall 12v-069. During that recall remedy, the fuel pressure sensor May not have been properly tightened, potentially causing the sensor to loosen and leak fuel.

Why it matters: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the fuel pressure sensor to the proper torque, free of charge. The recall began on April 24, 2018.
