The 2005 Nissan Murano has 4 recalls, with the most serious being a fuel tank fitting that can separate and allow fuel to leak, creating a fire risk if a flame or spark is nearby.
The fuel tank recall also triggers the malfunction indicator light on the dashboard, which may be the first sign something is wrong. The remaining two recalls describe the same steering column issue filed in two jurisdictions and should be treated as one problem: the steering wheel lock can engage when the ignition is turned to the off position while the transmission is still out of park. If that happens and the driver then turns the wheel to the right, the steering can lock up without warning, removing the ability to steer the vehicle. This is a particular concern in situations where the key is turned off before the transmission is fully shifted into park, such as during a rolling stop or a rushed park.
