I received a recall notification from my Infiniti Dealership in the mail today that states:

"Please be aware in the coming months you will receive a recall notice for the fuel hose on your vehicle. We have expanded our facility to 11 technicians and 42 loaners to accomodiate this. Please call us at (###)###-#### when you receive your recall notice."

Just wondering if anyone else received this notification.

 

No (maybe not yet), but what models did they specify?

 

Have you seen what is involved with this to replace it on the 350Z

I think ill just take my chances with the leaky fuel hose haha

 

So maybe my car gets 25-30mpg but the fuel hose has been leaking all my gas out of my tank!!

I'll get the fix ASAP

 

Jeez, what a joke. More shop time for my car. Lame...

 

did you read this part: "There is the possibility that the fuel filler hose may crack and result in fuel leakage from the hose while refueling. If an ignition source is present, a fire could occur. In addition, fuel vapor hoses may crack and cause the malfunction indicator lamp to come on."

hmmm, fire.....shop time, fire....shop time - hard decision huh?

 

Did I say I wasn't going to bring it into the shop? Or even questioning it? Of course I'm going to bring it in.

 

I just took my car in this morning for a routine oil change and to take a look at my squeaky belts at Pleasanton Infiniti. The service guy automatically added this fuel recall thing onto the to-do list as well.

 

what model and year does this pertain to?

 

I have a 2003 sedan, so I'm pretty sure its for all 2003 - 2004 cars (coupes, sedans, and Z's)

Does your aftermarket exhaust require you to relocate the EVAP canister? If so, how does that mod affect the recall repair?

 

I took my 04 in last monday for an oil change and replace the rotors and pads for the last time under warranty. I was informed at that time that there was a recall for the fuel hose for my car. They also told me that they would only perform the service if there was less than a half a tank of gas.

They did the whole service in less than a half a day. Glad to have it fixed without having to make another appointment..........I did not receive a recall letter though.

 

I just had this done and when I pick up my car it's making this clicking/rattling noise. They have to remove the entire rear axle for this service. In my case they didnt put something back together right or ??? I didn't even make it out of the parking lot, back in the loaner.
