FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
What Happened
The fuel filler tube in your vehicle is the pipe that connects the gas cap to the fuel tank. In some models, a special coating on this pipe might not be thick enough, which could let water in and cause rust.
Risk if Unfixed
If water gets into the pipe and meets road salt, it could cause rust and eventually a small hole. If you live in areas with lots of road salt, the pipe could even break, letting fuel leak out when you fill up. This could lead to a fire if there's an ignition source nearby.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the fuel filler tube with a new one that's coated with a thicker, more protective layer – all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, especially if you live in an area with heavy road salt use.
