Recall

No recalls. Only Technical Service Bulletins relating to cold start up tips and cautions using Oxygenated fuels.

Yes, there was a recall on the fuel injectors but your car is 22 years old now and it's way too late to do anything about it.

It was actually a voluntary recall.

INTRODUCTION

Nissan has received reports of leaks in the fuel injection system on the above vehicles. Fuel leaks in the engine can result in a fire. Nissan has investigated these leaks and found that certain fuel additives approved for use in gasoline after these vehicles were designed have resulted in deterioration of the fuel injectors causing fuel leaks. In addition, Nissan has found fuel leaks due to worn out hoses which have not been replaced according to the maintenance schedule. Although Nissan has determined that these fuel leaks are not due to any defect in the vehicles, Nissan has decided to replace the fuel injectors and related hoses on these vehicles free of charge because we are concerned about the safety and satisfaction of our customers.

This campaign also covers the cost of replacing water or vacuum hoses that may be damaged during the repair procedure. This campaign does not cover normal maintenance items such as filters, belts, ignition wires, etc. A complete list of covered components (listed as "Related Parts") is provided at the end of this bulletin.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

It is the dealer's responsibility to check and repair each vehicle within the range of the campaign which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in dealer inventory.

Effective with the receipt of this information, dealers should perform the campaign repair for any affected vehicle entering their dealership. The practice of replacing injectors as individual components or performing partial fuel injector system repairs on vehicles in this campaign, should be discontinued immediately. The only authorized fuel injector repair for the vehicles in the campaign is the installation of the complete campaign kit.
