Known issues on the 1994 Maxima. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three cover aftermarket corner and bumper lamp assemblies sold as replacement parts for this vehicle, all missing the required amber side reflectors, which reduces lighting visibility and can leave the car poorly illuminated in a crash situation. A fourth covers the aluminum wheels, where excessive clear coating left wheel nuts too far from the hub when tightened, allowing hub bolts to loosen and break, risking wheel separation. The fifth covers the fuel filler tube, where trapped mud and salt can corrode the tube and the wheel housing it shares with the left rear seat belt retractor mount, raising the risk of a fuel leak or a seat belt mounting failure in a crash. Owners have filed 102 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a lighting inspection to a fuel filler tube or rear seat belt mount check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1994 Maxima.
