Nissan recalls model year 2019 Altimas

Nissan North America is recalling 374 model year 2019 Altimas equipped with front wheel drive (FWD) and 2.5 liter engines.

The fuel pump lock ring may not be fully engaged, possibly causing fuel to leak.

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

What to do

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel tank assembly. If the lock ring is disengaged, dealers will tighten the ring to specification. If the lock ring is detached, dealers will replace the fuel pump. Both remedies will be completed free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin June 2019.

Owners may contact Nissan customer service at (800) 867-7669.
