Do fighters that have access to a Hangar Deck but not a maintenance facility suffer from maintenance failures?

No, they don't. In fact, fighters can only use hangar decks to avoid maintenance failures. Maintenance facilities don't work for fighters.

Thanks, after discovering how bulky maintenance modules are now, I was actually hoping that this would be the case. This means I can still build one-squadron fighter outpost PDC's to watch over outlying systems. :)

Is this a game balance decision? It kind of make sense that a planet with maintainance facilities would be able to maintain fighters that are based on the ground at airports/spaceports.

It is a game balance decision. Because one maintenance facilities can support an unlimited number of ships, a couple could support hundreds of fighters. This rule encourages you to have somewhere to base fighters before you build them.
