The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles, a fitting for vapor recirculation, which is welded on the fuel tank, May come off the fuel tank because incorrect material was used.
The risk
This could result in the malfunction indicator light in the instrument panel coming on and May result in some fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel tank with a new one free of charge. The recall began on March 20, 2006. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
