What's wrong?
The fuel pressure sensor on affected 2011-2012 INFINITI M, Qx, and Juke vehicles is mounted in the fuel system. Its job is to read fuel pressure so the engine control system has the information it needs to manage fuel delivery. The sensor also has to stay sealed and tight because pressurized fuel is moving through that area.
In this recall, the sensor was not tightened to the correct specification during assembly. Heat from the engine bay and normal vehicle vibration can let the sensor loosen over time. Once it backs out far enough, fuel can leak from the sensor connection instead of staying inside the fuel system.
There is no warning sign before failure. After a leak starts, an owner can notice a fuel smell or visible fuel near the engine area, but the recall does not identify an earlier warning before the sensor loosens.

The scope spans M, Qx, and Juke vehicles across the 2011 and 2012 model years, all tied to the fuel system.

What's the safety risk?
Fuel leaking from the pressure sensor increases the risk of a fire. If your VIN is included, schedule the recall repair soon and avoid using the vehicle if you notice fuel odor or visible leakage. Repair will be free at any franchised INFINITI dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011-2012 INFINITI M, Qx, or Juke is included in this recall.
- Contact INFINITI customer service at 1-800-647-7261 for current repair instructions before driving with any fuel smell or visible fuel leak.
- Ask a franchised INFINITI dealer about the free fuel-pressure-sensor replacement that fixes the loose sensor and fuel-leak risk.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 12V069 when you call.
- Avoid driving if you smell fuel or see a leak. Ask the dealer about towing before moving the vehicle.
What happens at the repair
Once the dealer remedy is available, an INFINITI technician will inspect the fuel pressure sensors and replace the sensors that need replacement. The repair addresses sensors that were not tightened to specification, which allows heat and vibration to loosen them and let fuel leak. Parts and labor will be free under the recall once the repair opens. Ask the service department to confirm the campaign by VIN before planning the visit.
