2009-2010 Nissan Cube

The Problem: After the Cube completed a rear-moving barrier crash test, the compact wagon was found to have a problem with “fuel system integrity.” Following the test, the Cube rotated (as required) and the amount of fuel leakage was above the allowed limits. Excessive fuel leakage could lead to a fire.

The Fix: Dealers will attach a special protector to the gas recirculation tube at the filler neck connector. The service will begin around the end of August.

Number of Vehicles Affected: 46,000

2010-2011 Jaguar XFs and XKs

The Problem: 2010 XFs and 2010-2011 XKs with the 5.0-liter V-8 engine may have issues with the in-tank electric fuel pump failing to reenergize once the vehicle is restarted. The result could be fuel starvation and stalling.
The Fix: Revised software installed by the dealer is the fix for the recall, which will begin around the end of August.

Number of Vehicles Affected: 5048

    Maybe it’s just me but i find the Nissan Cube extremely ugly: in fact Nissan has at least three current models that fit into the ugliest category, i don’t mean to sound disgusting but the rear lights look like someone’s behind popped out. and the rest of the thing is not any better.

      I have a 2009 Nissan Cube. At first I thought it was so ugly and didn’t even want to test drive it. I did and found it to be the most comfortable car to drive .I have had back surgery and my hip replaced. I love the secruity measures. Keyless entries. The only thing i would change is nissans customer service.
