What is being recalled
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.
Why it is dangerous
A gasoline leak in the presence of an ignition source may lead to a vehicle fire.
