What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel system) that explicitly increases the risk of fire and crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2019 Nissan Altima vehicles. The recall involves 23,903 vehicles where the retainer clip connecting the low-pressure fuel tube to the high-pressure fuel pump may not have been locked into position.
If the retainer clip is unlocked, the fuel tube may shift and cause a fuel leak, which increases the risk of a fire. Additionally, if the fuel tube fully disconnects, the engine can stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Nissan has notified owners, and dealers will route the fuel hose into the holding clip and lock the retainer clip into place, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 11, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
