Nissan recalls 475,400 Primeras, X-Trails globally
TOKYO, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co. said on Friday it
would recall 475,400 units of its Primera and X-Trail models globally to fix
a faulty fuel filler tube.
Japan's second-biggest auto maker said the recall was related
to the fuel inlet to the gasoline tank called the fuel filler tube, which
may rust at the mounting bracket. That rust could then form a pinhole in the
tube, possibly causing a leak during refuelling, it said in a statement.
No accidents have been reported due to the defect, Nissan said.
A spokeswoman declined to say how much the recall would cost,
but added the financial burden would "not be great".
The vehicles concerned are built and sold in Japan, as well
as exported to Europe, Canada, and other smaller markets. They are not sold
in the United States.
