Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2020 Nissan Versa vehicles. The recall addresses a manufacturing issue where the fuel tank wall thickness may be insufficient, which can potentially cause a small hole in the tank seam area.

If a small hole is present, a fuel leak may occur if the operator fills the tank over half full. This condition increases the risk of a fire.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tank free of charge. The recall began on April 6, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
