The vehicle is now leaking fuel during fill ups and when it is topped off. A visual is not an acceptable practice of measuring thickness of a conversion coating. The dealership verified the issue on october 27 2015 and the Infiniti corp will not honor the recall because it does not want to open the recall. …”
