Fuel Tank Dealer Inventory
*****Dealer Announcement*****
Nissan is conducting a quality action to inspect the fuel tank on 80 specific 2019 Altima AWD vehicles identified in Service Comm. Due to a manufacturing issue that has since been corrected, the fuel readings may not be accurate due to the presence of a plastic slug inside the fuel tank.
Affected vehicles are not subject to stop sale and are either currently in dealer inventory or assigned and in transit to the dealer. Nissan requests dealers to complete this inspection and, if necessary, remedy any affected inventory prior to sale to ensure customer satisfaction.
