Owners of certain 2016 Nissan Maxima vehicles will be returning to their dealership for repairs to the fuel system. While Nissan is continuing to examine the problem, a preliminary investigation has determined that certain vehicles may have fuel sending units that may have not been affixed to the fuel tank correctly. As a result, the 0-ring between the sending unit and fuel tank may not be seated and could leak, increasing the risk of fire during an accident.

The remedy for this recall is still under development. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners wanting more information about the problem are asked to contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. The NHTSA campaign number is 15V-486.
