NHTSA recall 10V075000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The molded fuel tank shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty.
Why it matters: This could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel level sending unit inside the fuel tank with a new one that has a modified float arm. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before March 22, 2010.
