The 2005 Nissan Murano has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel tank fitting that can separate and allow fuel to leak, creating a fire risk near any ignition source.
A warning light on the dashboard will typically come on when the fitting fails, but the underlying leak is the primary concern. The other recalls both involve the steering column lock: if the driver turns the ignition to the off position while the transmission is not in park, the steering wheel can lock up when turned to the right, removing steering control at that moment.
