NHTSA recall 06V092000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain king cab trucks, in a severe side impact crash, there is a possibility that deformation of the vehicle's body could cause the fuel filler cap tether to be stretched to the point of unscrewing the fuel filler cap.
Why it matters: This may result in a fuel spill which in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel cap tether pin assembly with a modified one free of charge. The recall began on April 24, 2006.
