Nissan is recalling certain 2016 Maxima vehicles and 2013-2015 Altima 3.5 models with V6 engines due to a fuel system defect. The affected vehicles may have an improperly installed o-ring at the fuel sending unit, which could allow fuel to leak from where the fuel sending unit attaches to the fuel tank during a crash, increasing the risk of fire.
Nissan will notify owners and dealers will install a retainer ring between the fuel tank and the fuel sending unit at no cost. The recall began on September 28, 2015. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
