Known issues on the 1986 Maxima. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel injection system: fuel injectors and related hoses on affected vehicles could leak, and leaking fuel in the engine could result in a fire. The second covers the windshield, where insufficient adhesive thickness between the glass and the body could allow the windshield to dismount in an accident, risking occupant ejection and more serious injury or death. Owners have filed 67 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a fuel injector inspection to a windshield mounting check or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1986 Maxima.
