Known issues on the 2017 Maxima. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three of them center on the same ABS actuator: brake fluid can leak onto the internal circuit board, and the resulting electrical short raises the risk of a fire, with the third recall issued after vehicles from the earlier campaigns were found unrepaired or in need of a wider fix. The fourth covers the front passenger Occupant Classification System, which may misread an adult as a child or the seat as empty, so the airbag may not deploy as intended in a crash. Owners have filed 103 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're chasing an ABS fault, verifying the passenger occupant sensor, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2017 Maxima.
