Recall 06V092000: Fuel Cap Tether Pin Replacement
MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Nissan/Frontier 2005-2006
MANUFACTURER: Nissan North America, Inc.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V092000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: March 28, 2006
COMPONENT: Fuel System, Gasoline: Storage: Tank Assembly: Filler Pipe and Cap
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 42000
SUMMARY:
On certain King Cab trucks, in a severe side impact crash, there is a possibility that the structure stiffness and geometry of the body to which the fuel
filler tube is mounted could create a relative displacement between the filler cap and filler door. The filler cap tether may be stretched to the point of
unscrewing the cap off.
CONSEQUENCE:
This may result in a fuel spillage which in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the fuel cap tether pin assembly with a modified one free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on April 17, 2006. Owners may
contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
