What Happened
Your 2013 Infiniti JX35 has a potential problem with the fuel tank. One of the tubes inside the tank might be in the wrong place, which can cause the fuel gauge to show a higher fuel level than it actually is.
Risk if Unfixed
If your fuel gauge isn't accurate, you could run out of gas unexpectedly. This could cause your car to stall, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Nissan will fix this for you at no cost. A dealer will inspect the tank, move the tube to the right place, and install a new seal. You'll be notified when it's time to bring your car in.

Original — What Happened
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles manufactured from February 15, 2012, through June 22, 2012. Due to an assembly issue, the fuel transfer tube may be misrouted inside the fuel tank. As a result, the fuel level float may be prevented from dropping as the fuel is consumed and the fuel guage may read a fuel level higher than actually exists.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel guage does not accurately show when the tank is becoming empty, the vehicle may run out of gas unexpectedly, stalling, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and re-route the fuel transfer tube and install a new O-ring, free of charge. The recall began on September 10, 2012. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
