NHTSA recall 02V300000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, the fuel tank inlet shutter valve does not meet the sealing performance specification.
Why it matters: Under certain conditions such as high ambient temperature and when winter grade gasoline is being sold, fuel could spill from the filler inlet as the tank is being filled. In the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tank inlet shutter valve. Owner notification is expected to begin December 10, 2002.
