Recall Summary:
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Infiniti jx35 vehicles manufactured from February 15, 2012, through June 22, 2012. Due to an assembly issue, the fuel transfer tube may be misrouted inside the fuel tank. As a result, the fuel level float may be prevented from dropping as the fuel is consumed and the fuel guage may read a fuel level higher than actually exists.
How to Fix:
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and re-route the fuel transfer tube and install a new o-ring, free of charge. The recall began on September 10, 2012. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
