Nissan Frontier: Fuel System
Affects Nissan Frontier · 2005–2006 — about 2K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain King Cab vehicles, a severe side impact crash could create a relative displacement between the fuel filler cap and filler door. The filler cap tether may be stretched to the point of unscrewing the cap off. This may result in fuel spillage which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will install a modified fuel cap tether/pin assembly.
