The fault found in the 2022-2024 Nissan Qashqai petrol models could cause a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire, according to the recall notice.
Nissan has recalled 13,031 examples of its 2022-2024 Qashqai petrol models, citing a potential fault with fuel pipe.
The affected vehicles are stamped 2022 to 2024 models, but may have been sold at a later date.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: "Due to a manufacturing defect, the fuel pipe may chafe against the support bracket and become damaged.
"If this occurs fuel may leak, potentially resulting in loss of motive power whilst driving, and if in the presence of an external ignition source may result in a vehicle fire," said the recall notice.
A full list of vehicle identification numbers for the 13,031 vehicles involved in the recall can be found here.
Affected owners will be contacted by Nissan in writing, wherein they will be advised to contact an authorised dealer to have remediation work carried out, free of charge.
Concerned owners can also call Nissan Australia on 1800 035 035, email to [email protected], or visit the brand's website.
