Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap
On certain king cab trucks, in a severe side impact crash, there is a possibility that deformation of the vehicle's body could cause the fuel filler cap tether to be stretched to the point of unscrewing the fuel filler cap.
Risk: This may result in a fuel spill which in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel cap tether pin assembly with a modified one free of charge. The recall began on april 24, 2006. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
