Nissan has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 2002 and 2005-2006 model year Nissan Altima and Sentra vehicles equipped with the 2.5 liter engine. On some of these vehicles there is a possibility that the engine might stop running while being driven due to the program in the Electronic Control Module (engine computer). If the engine stops running while driving, this could result in a crash without warning. To prevent this potential condition, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign to reprogram the Electronic Control Module.
2005 NISSAN SENTRA; VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN SENTRA FUEL TANK VAPOR HOSE
Nissan has determined that some 2005 model year Nissan Sentra vehicles may have a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety. There is a possibility that a vapor hose located inside the fuel tank may not have been formed correctly in the manufacturing process. When the vehicle is parked with a full fuel tank, fuel may flow into the vapor hose, which is connected to a vapor canister. If the vehicle is parked for a long enough time, the vapor canister could become full, and excess fuel could spill out onto the ground. This could result in a fire if an ignition source is present. To prevent this condition from occurring, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign to check the vapor hose connections in the fuel tank to determine if a poor seal exists. If a poor seal is identified, a new fuel tank will be installed.
