 Description of the problemI was smelling gas fumes while my car was parked in the garage. I could see something wet in the wheel well near where the gas tank is filled. Had it repaired at my infiniti dealer, and they replaced the fuel filler tube and hoses. It reminded me of a recall notice i received in 2008. It was for the fuel filler tube and hoses. They were know to have corroded due to exposure to road salts. I had my car inspected in 2008 and they said everything was ok at the time. However, being able to smell fumes in my garage, i know that it corroded through. The dealer and infiniti consumer affairs state that because i don't live in their derived list of states that "regularly use salt in the winter", that i am not eligible for free replacement of the defective part. I do travel through a couple of the affected states, but the car is not registered in one. The recall notice states: "because your qx4 is not registered in one of the above states, it does not have to be repaired. However, at your request, your infiniti dealer will inspect, and if necessary, replace the fuel filler tube assembly with a new one with an improved coating process. This free service should take about one and a half hours..." the notice also states to "leave this notice in your qx4 for any future owners." this tells me there is no length of time where the recall notice becomes inactive. It was inspected at the time and no repairs were necessary then. However, the problem did develop, and now they do not consider it meeting the criteria of the recall. I think it matches exactly. ....
