Campaign Number: 05V555000 Date: 2005-Dec-13


Component: Fuel System, Gasoline

Defect Summary: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE FUEL FILLER HOSE MAY CRACK FROM EXPOSURE TO OZONE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO COME ON AS A RESULT OF THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DETECTING A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE HOSE WHILE REFUELING COULD ALSO OCCUR.

Consequence Summary: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Corrective Summary: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILLER HOSE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 13, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

 

This is for 04 350Z, not 05 or 03. I wonder if there is recall for 05s.

 

Thanks. This will be the first 350Z recall (if in fact it does apply to the 350Z). I expect to see more details from Nissan later.

 

Thx!

 

Does anyone know what all this involves? How about a "do-it-yourself" project? I fear taking vehicles to dealerships & I work for one, in sales. Over the years I have seen to many nightmares happen back there. I am willing to put the time & agony into the repair. That way I can make sure nothing is dented, scratched, breathed on wrong, etc...Any help would be appreciated! Ciao & see some of you @ 06 ZDAYZ

 

I would not do it myself. Here is the recall link info from Nissan. You can do it yourself but, it will be a pain.

Holy back from the dead thread batman!!! If you don't know about the recall by now, you've been living under a rock.

 

I have an O3 and got this notice

 

Me too. I got a notice in the mail a few days ago.

 

I had it done yesterday. Took from 9 am to 530 pm. They were slow.

 

Did they mess anything up?

 

yeah i had mine done on tuesday. took the whole damn day. they said they had to remove the fuel tank, transmission, rear axles and brakes, etc. i accidentally had a full tank in my fuel tank and when i picked up my car, it was only half. i guess thats my fault

 

guys
take a look at the recall sticky on the top of the page
also nissan has recalls on 90% of their vehicles now because of the bad rubber. they also have to recall maximas and altimas for a bad aluminum strut brace.

 

I've yet to get a recall notice and I own a 2004 350zr and a 2003.5 G35 sedan.... wondering if they forgot about me

 

my notice said 03-04 Z. I'm due up this next week

 

Check out the sticky at the top of the forum. This recall is for a specific VIN range, so it may not affect you.
