1992 Nissan Maxima Fuel system Problems

“About 5 months ago, I had to fix a problem with a leak in my filler pipe (gas). I had discovered the problem while filling my gas tank at a local station. I had previously read NHTSA campaign id number : 95v244000 and therefore brought my car in to Nissan dealer with the print out of the recall to get the situation fixed. The dealership had my car 2 days and still had not started any work on it... Apparently they contacted Nissan who claimed their was no recall on my car. I contacted Nissan myself both via email and phone and got the same answer from them... That no recall existed. …”

“My 1992 Maxima is leaking fuel near the filler tube. The dealer says the fuel filler tube is corroded and the entire assembly needs replacement. Research shows that the Maxima years 89-94 have a recall for the corrosion of the fuel filler tube, but only for certain states (nc is not included). Nissan refuses to pay because they say my VIN is not in their database for the recall, but this is a serious safety issue and I do not see how the registered state of the car affects the recall status. The car has been driven with weather similar to the states listed on the recall.”

“The contact owns a 1992 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while adding gasoline to the fuel tank he smelled fuel and noticed it leaking from underneath the fuel tank. The dealer was informed about the failure and stated that the vent holes in the fuel tank were cracked. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 188419. The current mileage was 188700.”

“The contact owns a 1992 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that there is a fuel leak on the pipe that connects to the gas tank due to corrosion. The manufacturer stated that there was a recall regarding this failure. The contact went to the dealer; however, there was only one person there who could perform the repair. Nissan has the necessary part and the contact can repair it himself, but they refuse to sell him the part. The failure has been ongoing for two months. The recall number was unknown. The failure mileage was 92,480.”

“It was possible for a mixture of mud and salt to get trapped between the fuel filler tube and wheel housing. The trapped mud and salt can result in corrosion of the fuel filler tube and the wheel housing. The vehicle experienced the same defect, however the vehicle identification number was not included in the recall. Recall # 95 v 244 000”
