The Nissan Qashqai small SUV has been recalled in Australia due to a fuel pipe issue.

Specifically, 13,031 examples of the Qashqai built between 2022 and 2024 have been recalled. However, only internal combustion-powered variants are affected. 

“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,” the original recall notice reads. 

Owners of affected Qashqais will be contacted in writing, asking them to contact an authorised Nissan dealership to have the issue resolved, free of charge.
