Consumer Description

DUE TO A RECALL A PLASTIC SHIELD WAS INSTALLED A FEW YEARS AGO BY DEALER TO PROTECT THE FUEL TANK FROM ROAD DEBRIS. SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT THE SHIELD CAUSING FOUR OF THE 6 PLASTIC FASTENERS TO BREAK OFF OR FAIL DUE TO AGE. THE SHIELD WAS DANGLING ON PASSENGER SIDE. I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED REPLACEMENT FASTENERS. MOST PEOPLE WILL NOT KNOW TO INSPECT FOR THIS LEAVING THE TANK EXPOSED. I THINK NISSAN'S SOLUTION IS INADEQUATE. THE SHIELD SHOULD BE MORE ROBUST. PERHAPS METAL WITH METAL FASTENERS? I ALSO THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THE RECALL. *TR
