Nissan Recalls 2003-2004 Infiniti M45 for Fuel Gauge Circuit Board Failure

Nissan is recalling 2003-2004 Infiniti M45 vehicles because a circuit board failure may cause the fuel gauge to read higher than the actual fuel level, potentially leading to the vehicle stalling without warning.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2003-2004 Infiniti M45 vehicles manufactured between March 7, 2002, and June 3, 2004. The recall involves 8,120 vehicles affected by a defect in the fuel system, specifically a circuit board failure.

Due to this circuit board failure, the fuel gauge may display a fuel level that is higher than the amount of fuel actually in the tank. As a result, the vehicle may run out of gas without notice. This condition can cause the vehicle to stall without warning, which increases the risk of a crash.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will modify the circuit board free of charge. The safety recall began on April 27, 2012. Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service at 1-800-647-7261 for more information.
