Filing in context
The Fuel Tank is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 79 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 31 Nissan notifications from 2006 in this archive. For scale, 1,232 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 3 months.
Issue
The fuel tank mounting position is incorrect, allowing road debris to strike the front face of the fuel tank during high-speed driving. If the debris has a sharp protrusion, it may puncture the tank and, in the worst case, damage the fuel tank and cause a fuel leak. Note: the affected tank meets applicable fuel tank technical standards.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, install an additional protective cover on the front face of the fuel tank.

状況
燃料タンクの取付位置が不適切なため、高速走行中に、路上の落下物が燃料タンク前面に衝突することがある。そのため、落下物に突起があった場合、タンクに刺さり、最悪の場合、燃料タンクが損傷し、燃料が漏れるおそれがある。なお、当該タンクは、燃料タンクの技術基準に適合している。
改善措置
全車両、燃料タンク前面にプロテクタを追加して取り付ける。
