Nissan corporation is aware of the fuel injector defect. According to future nissan is roseville, ca. Nissan corporation has warrantied the fuel injectors in a select number of models and cylinder types. The 240sx with 6 cylinders has been warrantied, however my 4 cylinder model which has the exact some fuel injectors which the exact same seal breakdown problem has been chosen by nissan not to warranty.

November 1998 Fire

Smelled bad gas odor. Took to repair shop and said 3 out of 4 injectors were leaking, very dangerous. Replaced immediately. Now I am reading about recall # 95I006000--never notified. Will nissan refund or credit me for cost since this was immediate danger problem. Will provide proof of service and cost.
