Recall 02V300000: Fuel Filler Shutter Valve Replacement

DEFECT: On certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, the fuel tank inlet shutter valve does not meet the sealing performance specification. Under certain conditions, such as high ambient temperature and when winter grade gasoline is being sold, fuel could spill from the filler inlet as the tank is being filled. In the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage could result in a fire.


REMEDY: Dealers will replace the fuel tank inlet shutter valve. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began Jan. 13, 2003. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
