Nissan to Recall 44,000 2005 Sentras

Possible Fuel Leak and Fire Hazard

June 10, 2005
The National Transportation Safety Administration has announced the recall or 44,000 2005 Nissan Sentra's because of a fuel storage problem that could cause a fire.

NHTSA reports that a vapor hose in the fuel tank may not have been manufactured properly. When the Sentra is parked and the fuel tank is full, gasoline may flow into the vapor hose and then into a vapor canister.

If the vapor canister is completely full, the excess gasoline could spill onto the ground and result in a fire.

Nissan dealers will check the hose connection in the fuel tank to insure that a proper seal exits. If the seal is inadequate, a new fuel tank will be installed.

The recall is scheduled to begin in August. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or the NHTSA Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
