• Recall 72552 [USA]: This may result in surface rust but not perforation of the tube. however, in those areas of the country which use heavy concentrations of road salt in the winter, if a mixture of snow/water and salt makes contact with the bare metal, corrosion may occur to a degree which results in perforation of the tube. in this case fuel leakage may occur when filling the tank. fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
  On certain vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, iowa, illinois, indiana, kentucky, massachusetts, maine, maryland, michigan, minnesota, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, tennessee, vermont, virginia, west virginia , wisconsin and the district of columbia, during the coating process of the fuel filler tube assembly, an insufficient amount of coating may have been applied at the lower mounting bracket.

• Recall 2011165 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months, a mixture of snow/water and salt may enter an assembly location hole in the upper strut housing, causing water to collect at the mating surface of the strut housing panel and the inner hood ledge assembly. Over time, this snow/water and salt intrusion may result in corrosion of the strut tower housing structure. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the strut housing may crack and pull away from the inner hood ledge assembly. Should the strut housing separate and contact the steering column upper shaft, the steering shaft could break. A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect the strut housing and, if no corrosion or only minor surface corrosion is present, an anti-corrosion seal will be applied. If moderate corrosion is present, resin patches will be applied in addition to the sealant. If there is evidence of more significant corrosion, a metal reinforcement plate will be used to reinforce the strut housing assembly. In instances where it is impossible to repair the vehicle, nissan will provide an appropriate remedy.

In this case, fuel leakage may occur when filling the tank or shortly thereafter. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

When turning left or right with steering wheel there is a quarter of a turn before the vehicle starts to turn and when traveling on the freeway this causes me to drift into other lanes . This delay when i turn the steering wheel and the car doesn't turn is very scary. It is almost like when you hit an ice patch and apply the breaks and the vehicle keeps going in the forward direction

Nhtsa recall number 11v-244 recall, manufacturer recall number: r1108. I recently purchased this vehicle which was in seattle wa. I live in illinois and took this car yesterday to anderson nissan in rockford, il for the open recall. I was told that their inspection showed no rust and due to the life of this car, no further action will be taken on this recall. My concern is that now that this car will be exposed to snow and salt, it will rust!! This car is in good condition and i hope to get many more years out of it (odometer is 152,500 miles). I contacted nissan consumer affairs, case# 24193883, who said that my request to remedy the strut housing (i was told by the dealership that the fix is remove rust and then apply paint) will be referred to their regional office. What recourse do i have on this issue?

My left wrist was burned badly when the air bags deployed after an accident i was involved in. Is whatever is put in the air bag to burn a person's skin necessary? Is there another way?
