Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q:	Is this a safety recall?

Q:	What is the reason for safety recall?
A.	These vehicles were previously included under recall R1201 (12V-069) and the remedy was completed.

Q:	What is the possible effect of the condition?
A.	The fuel pressure sensor may gradually loosen over time due to heat and vibration, which could possibly cause a small amount of fuel to leak. Owners should still have the fuel pressure sensor retightened, even if they previously had R1201 (12V-069) completed out of an abundance of caution.
Q:	What will be the corrective action for this voluntary safety recall campaign?
A.	Nissan dealers will tighten the fuel rail pressure sensor to the correct specification.
Q:	How long will the corrective action take?
A.	The remedy should take less than one (1) hour to perform once parts are available. However, the Nissan dealer may require your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule.
Q:	When will vehicle owners be notified?
A.	Nissan will begin notifying owners of all potentially affected vehicles in April 2018, via U.S. Mail.
Q:	Are parts readily available?
A.	No parts are necessary for this repair.
Q:	Is my vehicle safe to drive?
A.	Yes. However, Nissan recommends that you make an appointment for the sensor to be retightened as soon as possible.

A.	The remedy will fully correct this condition. As the condition will be corrected, there is no basis for repurchasing or replacing your vehicle.
Q:	How many vehicles are involved in the campaign?
A.	Approximately 55,802 vehicles manufactured at the Oppama, Japan plant are affected. Region Juke (F15) Canada 6,417 USA  48,724 Guam  103 Puerto Rico  552  U.S. Virgin Islands  6 Total  55,802   Make/Model Dates of Manufacture MY2011-12 Nissan Juke (F15) April 09, 2010 through December 27, 2011
