## What is wrong

Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Sentra vehicles manufactured from September 11, 2012, through October 4, 2012.  Some fuel tank assemblies were not properly sealed during the manufacturing process.  As a result, a small amount of gasoline may leak from the tank when it is full.


## What can happen

A gasoline leak in the presence of an ignition source may lead to a vehicle fire.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tanks as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on April 1, 2013.  Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service at 1\-800\-647\-7261.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
