Recently,
there have been recalls on a few different Nissan models. And cars and truck
alike are included in this round of recalls.
First
off, the 2016 Nissan Titan XD is being recalled to a problem in the fuel
system. The problem isn’t as serious as one might think, the problem lies in a
fuel tank breather tube that wasn’t connected to the bed rail as it should have
been. This causes the fuel tank to not have proper ventilation and can screw
with the fuel gauge reading as well as through off the “distance to empty”
readout. The vehicles affected are the 2016 Titan XD equipped with the diesel
V8 and were built between August of 2015 and September 2016. Around 12,000
Titan’s will be recalled in total.
Nissan
has yet to say when notifications are to going to be sent out as they are
continuing to investigate the problem.
Nissan
is also issuing a recall on a host of late model vehicles. 134,000 in total
will be recalled, the 2016-17 Maxima, 2015-17 Murano and 2015-16 Murano Hybrid
are all on the list. These vehicles are only included in the recall if they
contain Nissan's Intelligent Cruise Control, which is its fancy name for
adaptive cruise. The issue lies with an anti-lock brake actuator pump that
comes as part of the semi-autonomous feature. This pump may leak brake fluid
onto a circuit board under the vehicle's hood, which can cause a fire in the
engine bay. The fix involves replacing the ABS actuator in question.
Drivers
are told to use caution, pay attention to how long the ABS light stays on when
the vehicle is first started. If the light stays on for longer than 10 seconds,
you are supposed to park the vehicle and call the dealership. Nissan has yet to
begin sending notifications, but will begin soon.
