Recall 94V-194: 1993–1994 Nissan Maxima
NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for wheels, reported to NHTSA on Oct 5, 1994, covering about 97,000 vehicles.
The problem
The aluminum wheels were clear coated several times to protect the metal finish. Some excessive coating can leave the wheel nuts an excessive distance from the wheel hub when tightened, allowing them to loosen over time.
The risk
This can cause the hub bolts to break and result in the wheel separating from the vehicle and a possible accident.
The fix
Dealers will remove the clear plastic coating from the brake rotor mating surface on the back of each wheel and from the wheel nut mating surfaces. The wheels will be reinstalled and the wheel nuts tightened. Wheels, hub bolts, and nuts will be replaced if necessary.
