NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V555000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: November 28, 2005

COMPONENT: Fuel System, Gasoline

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 192659

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:
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

Remedy:
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.
