Known issues on the 1992 Maxima. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three involve aftermarket combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies fitted to the car that lack required amber side reflectors, which can leave the vehicle poorly illuminated and increase crash risk. Another covers the driver's airbag sensor, which in some underbody impacts can send a signal that inflates the airbag when it isn't needed, risking minor injury. The fifth covers the fuel filler tube, where trapped mud and salt can cause corrosion severe enough to leak fuel near an ignition source, and can also compromise the left rear seat belt retractor mounting. Owners have filed 126 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a lighting fault to inspecting the fuel filler tube and airbag sensor circuit, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 1992 Maxima.
