“2009 Nissan GT-R develops a strong in-cabin smell of gas fumes during spirited drives on the race track. This happens every single time I've taken it to the track and the smell is overwhelming. Nissan redesigned the evap system for 2010, so it seems like they are aware of this issue already. I had my evap valve changed with no improvement in the situation. Many other GT-R owners are having this same issue... …”
NHTSA complaint #10307343, filed 2010-02, 5,500 miles“During a track day my fuel evap canister caught fire. There have been other GT-R owners that do not even track the car with normal driving, that have displayed a fuel stain in the passenger fender liner that is soaked from fuel from an overwhelmed (?badly designed) canister”
NHTSA complaint #10852043, filed 2016-03, 26,000 miles“Driving a 2009 Nissan GT-R on a road course results in a strong fuel smell within the passenger cabin. This appears to occur frequently in other GT-R's as well. In fact, Nissan redesigned the fuel tank and evap canister system in 2010 GT-R's because of these issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10290422, filed 2009-10, 3,800 miles“The contact owns a 2009 Nissan GT-R. The contact stated that fuel spilled out from the filler neck while refueling.
