What's wrong, in plain English

On some Nissan Versa vehicles, a manufacturing issue may cause the fuel tank's wall to be thinner than intended in certain areas. Because of this, a small hole could form in the seam area of the tank. This affects the fuel tank located underneath the vehicle, where fuel is stored, and relates specifically to how the tank was built rather than any other part of the fuel system.

What you should do

1. Check your vehicle's recall status by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 2. Until the tank is replaced, avoid filling the fuel tank more than half full. 3. Contact a Nissan dealer to have the fuel tank replaced; call Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. 4. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 20V112000.
