The problem
Nissan is recalling model year 2009-2010 Nissan cube vehicles manufactured from January 30, 2009 through July 30, 2010. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity." when the vehicle was rotated following a rear moving barrier crash test as required, the amount of fuel leakage exceeded the allowable limits.
The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will develop a special protector and attach it to the gasoline recirculation tube at the location of the filler neck connector. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on September 13, 2010. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
