Nissan said Monday it is recalling 46,000 Cube models over possible problems with fuel spilling during rear end collisions. In documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Nissan said Monday tests conducted by NHTSA safety regulators found more fuel spilled than federal standards allow. The spillage occurred during rear end crash tests where the vehicle also spun around.
Nissan said its own earlier tests did not show any fuel leakage, but it will issue a voluntary recall. It notified dealers last week and will contact owners on Aug. 30. Dealers will attach a special protector to prevent leaks.
The recall covers model year 2009 and 2010 Cubes made between Jan. 30, 2009 and July 30.

What's a CUBE?

But as I have stated many times when people posts recall stories. It happens to ALL CAR MAKERS, ALL THE TIME, for THOUSANDS OF REASONS.

Notice the story says "more fuel than standards allow"....it's like anything else...some is ok, but just not too much. Hey, like people always say MODERATION....

It's only when the automaker tries to cover up an issue instead of issuing a recall right away that it deserves criticism. ;)
