NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V555000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: November 28, 2005
COMPONENT: Fuel System, Gasoline
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 192659
SUMMARY:
On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles, the fuel filler hose may crack from exposure to ozone. This could cause the Malfunction Indicator Light (
MIL) in the instrument panel to come on as a result of the onboard diagnostic system detecting a leak in the evaporative emission control system. Fuel
leakage from the hose while refueling could also occur.
CONSEQUENCE:
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Remedy:
Dealers will replace the fuel filler hose. The recall is expected to begin on February 13, 2006. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or
Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.
