Fix: Reprogram the ECU to display a warning if the rear oxygen sensor fails.
Recalled models: JUKE · 7,393 vehicles
Engine push start switch may malfunction
On affected models with a push start ignition switch the switch may remain in the pressed position and not return after switching the engine on. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition the emergency engine stop function may operate and cause the engine to unintentionally stop.
Fix: Inspect and where necessary modify the push start switch housing.
Recalled models: JUKE · 10,248 vehicles
Fuel may leak
On affected vehicles the fuel pressure sensor may not have been tightened to the correct specification. Heat and engine vibration may cause the sensor to loosen and in extreme cases allow fuel to leak.
Fix: Tighten fuel pressure sensor on affected vehicles
Recalled models: JUKE · 3,489 vehicles
Airbag may release high temperature gases
In the event that the driver airbag is deployed during a frontal impact small holes may occur on the surface of the airbag. The holes are caused by high temperature gases from the airbag inflator exhausting directly onto the surface of the airbag material. The high temperature gas/airbag material may contact the drivers skin. The deployment performance of the driver airbag is not affected.
Fix: To replace the driver airbag with new.
Recalled models: JUKE · 2,498 vehicles
Fuel may leak
Nissan has identified that the fuel rail pressure sensor of some vehicles may have not been correctly tightened to the fuel rail of the engine and may loosen gradually due to heat and vibration of the engine. If left undetected and the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition in extreme cases fuel leakage may occur.
Fix: Re-tighten the pressure sensor and replace the pressure sensor gasket if required.
Recalled models: JUKE · 4,690 vehicles
Engine may stall
The Turbocharger boost sensor bracket may separate from the air inlet tube. This means the boost pressure may be measured incorrectly and the engine warning lamp may be illuminated. During low-speed driving this could cause the engine to stall and not restart
Fix: Inspect and if necessary replace the air inlet tube with a new one
Recalled models: JUKE · 2,741 vehicles
Brakes may not perform correctly
It is possible that the vehicles brake fluid maybe contaminated with mineral oil. This can cause the seals within the system to swell and affect their sealing properties. This may require drivers to apply additional force to the foot brake and could increase stopping distances.
Fix: Recall affected vehicles to have the system flushed and replenished with clean fluid.
