I HAVE A 1999 NISSAN FRONTIER XE KING CAB 4WD WITH A 3.3L ENGINE. THE MIDDLE SPRING ON THE RIGHT REAR LEAF SPRING BROKE AND THE FORWARD PORTION (STILL ATTACHED VIA A "RIVET" TO THE OTHER TWO) PIVOTED AND UNBEKNOWST TO ME WORE A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK. I ONLY NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK AND NOTICED A STRONG ODOR. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND WHEN I TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR THIS I WILL NOTIFY THEM OF THIS OTHER PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LEAF SPRING BREAKING; HOWEVER, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THERE NOT BEING SOME SORT OF "CLIP" TO PREVENT THE BROKEN PIECE FROM RUBBING AGAINST THE FUEL TANK.

ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH SIX CYLINDER ENGINES AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH FOUR OR SIX CYLINDER ENGINES, THE FUEL PUMP TERMINAL ON THE FUEL-SENDING UNIT CAN DEVELOP A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC MOLDING. THIS CAN CAUSE THE TERMINAL STRIP TO CORRODE UNDER SOME ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: IF CORROSION OCCURS, THE TERMINAL STRIP COULD EVENTUALLY BREAK CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP OPERATION. THIS WILL RESULT IN NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE ENGINE OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy: IN THE FOLLOWING STATES, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL-SENDING UNIT. THESE STATES ARE CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, TENNESSEE, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. IN THE OTHER STATES, THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE FUEL PUMP TERMINAL ON THE SENDING UNIT FOR CORROSION. IF CORROSION IS PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE UNIT.
