NHTSA Campaign #00V419001 FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

DECEMBER 15
2000

268,229 vehicles recalled

1996 NISSAN QUEST -- Vehicle description: Minivans. The fuel tank vent hose allows air to vent from the fuel tank during refueling. Cracks have developed in the vent hose. If (1) the fuel tank is overfilled, not allowing excess fuel in the vent hose to flow back into the tank, (2) the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and, (3) there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel.

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

Dealers will replace the vent hose. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #00V419001 »

NHTSA Campaign #98V012002 VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS

MARCH 03
1998

46,500 vehicles recalled

1996 NISSAN QUEST -- Vehicle description: Mini vans. These vehicles were produced with power windows that can be closed after the ignition key is turned to the "off" position and the right front (passenger) door is opened. This does not meet the requirements of FMVSS 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."

There is the potential for unsupervised children to operate the power windows, increasing the risk of personal injury to the child.

Owners will be provided with a label reminding owners not to leave children unattended because the power windows can operate for 15 minutes after the vehicle ignition has been turned off unless the driver's door is opened. Also included are instructions describing how and where this label is to be installed. If an owner prefers, their dealer can install this label for them.
