Nissan is set to recall its Cube compact SUV, after tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that more than the allowable amount of fuel could spill in a rear-end collision.<\/p>\n
According to the Associated Press, the recall affects 46,000 units of the model, including all of the vehicles sold thus far in North America. Though the car has been around in Japan for years, it just recently debuted in the U.S. last year.<\/p>\n
Nissan says that the car did not spill any fuel during the company’s own testing, but has issued a voluntary recall. Drivers who take their car back to the dealer will have a special cap installed in order to prevent excessive fuel leakage.<\/p>\n
The Cube, immediately recognizable due to its eye-catching design, has been a popular car for the company on its home turf of Japan. With a wrap-around back window and cubelike design, the car definitely exudes a modern Japanese look.<\/p>\n
Those who want a Cube but are looking to avoid the potential fuel problems might want to look at used Nissan Versas, a similar car that is not known to suffer from the issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
