Nearly 80,000 Nissan and Infiniti Models Are Recalled for Possible Fuel Leak Nissan is recalling about 79,000 Juke, Infiniti QX and Infiniti M models from the 2011-12 model years because of a possible fuel leak, the automaker told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In another recent action,the Goodyear Rubber and Tire Company told N.H.T.S.A. it would recall almost 41,000 light-truck tires because the tread could separate. Nissan said the fuel-pressure sensor might not have been properly tightened on certain models, which could allow "a small amount of fuel to leak." The automaker said it learned of the problem in early November, when an owner complained of a gasoline smell in the passenger compartment. Nissan concluded its investigation earlier this month and decided that a recall would be necessary, but said it was not aware whether the defect could be traced to any "thermal events." The Goodyear recall affects Wrangler Silent Armor tires produced from March 31 to May 31 of 2009. They are used on light trucks and sport utility vehicles. In a report filed on the agency's Web site on Saturday, Goodyear said that use of the tires "in severe conditions could result in partial tread separation, which could lead to vehicle damage or a motor vehicle crash." The tiremaker said it noticed an uptick in warranty claims beginning May 2010 and continued to monitor the situation, "but found no safety issue with these tires." Late last year, it received a report of an injury related to a tire failure, but an inspection showed the tire encountered an external road hazard. Goodyear then ruled out that a defect might have caused the failure. After "further discussion" with the agency, however, Goodyear concluded earlier this month that it would conduct a recall. Nissan and Goodyear described their recalls as voluntary, but once a manufacturer is aware of a safety problem it must inform the safety agency of its intent to conduct a recall within five business days. Failure to do so can result in a civil fine.
