The 2005 Nissan Maxima has two recalls, the more serious being a wiring harness under the driver's seat that can short circuit from road vibration and start a fire in the seat on vehicles equipped with the Driver Preferred Package.
The second recall involves the rear seat child restraint anchor brackets, which do not meet federal positioning requirements. The brackets may make it difficult to properly attach some child seats, and an improperly secured child seat raises the risk of injury to a child in a crash.
