Known issues on the 2018 Maxima. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the back-up camera and display: settings can be adjusted so the rear view image no longer shows and the system holds that setting the next time the vehicle is put in reverse, increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the ABS actuator pump: it may allow brake fluid to leak onto an internal circuit board, and a resulting electrical short raises the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 36 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing a back-up camera fault to inspecting the ABS actuator or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct spec for your specific 2018 Maxima.
