Nissan Recalling 470K Vehicles Over Fuel Leak
Nissan has announced a global recall that affects roughly 470,00 vehicles worldwide, 143,000 of which are in North America.
Affected cars in the U.S. include the 2012-14 Nissan Juke, 2012-13 Infiniti M56 and QX56, and the 2014-15 Infiniti Q70 sedan and QX80.
The issue is the fuel pressure sensors which may not have been sufficiently tightened during assembly. Over time, this can result in a fuel leak, which could lead to a fire. Only models that use direct injection are affected by the problem.
Nissan says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of this issue. Dealers will replace the fuel sensor at no cost to the consumer to fix the problem.
