Nissan is recalling 2011-2012 Juke vehicles because a previous repair may have left the fuel pressure sensor loose, creating a potential fire hazard.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fuel leak that can increase the risk of a fire, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural vehicle defects involving fire hazards.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2011-2012 Nissan Juke vehicles that were previously remedied under recall 12V-069. During that earlier recall remedy, the fuel pressure sensor may not have been properly tightened. This defect can potentially cause the sensor to loosen and leak fuel.

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. The recall affects 49,385 vehicles. The recall began on April 24, 2018.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the fuel pressure sensor to the proper torque, free of charge. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
