Nissan has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 1997 through 2001 Infiniti QX4. They stated on certain vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, the District Of Columbia, during the coating process of the fuel filler tube assembly, an insufficent amount of coating may have been applied ath the lower mounting bracket. This could result in an opening in the coating which can allow water to enter and make contact with the bare metal of the tube.
This may result in surface rust but not preforation of the tube. However, in those areas of the country which use heavy concentrations of road salt in the winter, if a mixture of snow/water and salt makes contact with the bare metal, corrosion may occur to a degree which results in preforation of the tube. In this case fuel leakage may occur when filling the tank. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Deralers will replace the fuel filler tube assembly with a new one with an improved coating process. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
