WASHINGTON, D.C. -

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently detailed a trio of late-model crossover recalls, two by Nissan and another by Porsche.

The first from Nissan North America covers a total of 79,275 units, including:

—2011-2012 Infiniti M
—2011-2012 Infiniti QX
—2011-2012 Nissan Juke

The OEM is asking owners of these vehicles to take the units to franchised dealers because the fuel pressure sensors may not have been tightened to the correct specification. Nissan fears that as a result, the fuel pressure sensor may loosen due to heat and vibration, causing fuel to leak and increasing the risk of fire.

Nissan told NHTSA it plans to begin to notify owners on March 19, telling them the fuel pressure sensors in these vehicles can be replaced as necessary for free.

In the meantime, potentially affected owners can contact Nissan at (615) 725-1000.

Nissan’s other recall is connected with the 2012 Murano and Rogue.

Officials explained a total of 2,983 units manufactured between Nov. 23 and Jan. 11 contain a tire pressure monitoring system that was not activated, thus they do not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard No. 138 that discusses the tire pressure monitoring system.

NHTSA emphasized a non-active TPMS cannot warn a driver that a tire is underinflated. The agency reiterated that underinflated tires can result in tire overloading and overheating, resulting in a possible blowout and crash.

However, NHTSA pointed out all of the affected vehicles currently remained in inventory at Nissan dealers, who have been instructed to activate all TPMS systems.

Porsche Recall

Porsche Cars North America told NHTSA it is recalling a total of 20,278 vehicles, including:

—2011-2012 Porsche Cayenne
—2011-2012 Porsche Cayenne S
—2011-2012 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid
—2011-2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Officials indicated the units made between March 8, 2010 and Jan. 31 have headlamps that may come loose and detach from the fender, causing the driver to lose visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

Porsche told NHTSA it started to notify owners last week, instructing them to take their vehicles to franchised dealers that have been instructed to replace headlamp locking assemblies for free.

Potentially affected owners still can contact Porsche at (800) 767-7243.
