Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1120780 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 31, 2008 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Nissan |
| Component | Fuel Hose / Pipe |
| Production period | May 28, 1999 — May 26, 2005 |
| Vehicles affected | 313,305 units |
Defect
On the fuel filler pipe connecting to the fuel tank, the joint between the pipe and its mounting bracket was not painted during manufacturing. This allows rust to develop at the joint. Continued use allows the rust to progress and perforate the pipe, which in the worst case may cause fuel to leak during refueling.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected pipe with the corrected part. Because supply of the corrected part will take time, as an interim measure all owners will be notified of the defect and vehicles will be transitioned to the corrected part sequentially, beginning with those that have been in service the longest.

状況
燃料タンクに給油するパイプと取付金具の接合部に、塗装がされていないものがあるため、当該パイプが錆びることがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、錆が進行し、パイプに穴があき、最悪の場合、給油時に燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該パイプを対策品と交換する。なお、対策品の供給に時間を要することから、当面の暫定措置として全ての使用者に不具合の内容を通知して、長期間使用している車両から、順次対策品に交換する。
