Documented Nissan Maxima conditions
Higher safety relevance appears first. The order does not measure reliability.

Braking performance may be reduced
The Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) actuator pumps may allow brake fluid to leak onto an internal circuit board.

In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied.
2016 Nissan Maxima · Fuel system
Fuel leak and fire risk
In the affected vehicles, due to an improperly installed o-ring that may not have been seated correctly at the time of assembly, fuel may leak during a crash from the area where the fuel sending unit attaches to the fuel tank.

Before diagnosing the Nissan Maxima
Use the right check before buying a part
A symptom can have several causes. These guides help separate a useful clue from a diagnosis that still needs testing.
Check recalls by VIN
A VIN search checks the displayed NHTSA records for an unrepaired safety recall associated with one vehicle. A model search shows only the wider campaign population.
Read guide ↗When a car is unsafe
A warning light does not always mean the same thing, but weak brakes or smoke leave little room for experimentation. Damaged tires and certain recall instructions can do the same.
Read guide ↗Why symptoms overlap
“It makes a weird noise” is useful human language. Diagnosis begins when that language is tied to the exact vehicle and its operating conditions.
