Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1130600 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 15, 2012 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Nissan |
| Component | Fuel Hose / Pipe |
| Production period | October 29, 2004 — August 28, 2007 |
| Vehicles affected | 2,877 units |
Defect
During manufacturing of the engine fuel pipe, internal wrinkles form at the connector section with inconsistent depth, and some connector sections were tightened below the specified torque. When high fuel pressure is applied, cracks can initiate from these wrinkles and fuel may leak from the connector.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the fuel pipe for fuel leaks, including seepage and dripping. Any fuel pipe with confirmed leakage — including seepage or dripping — must be replaced with a high-pressure specification pipe and tightened to the revised specified torque. Pipes with no leakage must be retightened to the revised specified torque.

状況
原動機において、燃料パイプ製造時に発生するコネクタ部内部のしわにばらつきがあり、また、パイプコネクタ部の締付トルクが低いものがある。このため、高い燃料圧力が加わることにより、当該しわ部を起点とした亀裂が発生し、燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、燃料パイプからの燃料漏れ（にじみ、滴下含む。）の有無を点検し、漏れ（にじみ、滴下含む。）が確認された燃料パイプは高圧仕様のものに交換し、新規設定の締付トルクで締付ける。漏れ（にじみ、滴下含む。）がないものは、新規設定の締付トルクで締付ける。
