Description of the problem	1. My 2001 nissan frontier se's engine suddenly died with no warning. It would not start and i verified that there was in fact gas in the tank. I expected it to be the fuel pump that failed. I had the vehicle towed at my expense to a garage of my choice. 2. I decided to check online to see what recalls might be due on the vehicle. There were a few recalls, but recall id # 5971 which is a recall of the fuel sending unit was the one that seemed to be an exact description of the problem that i had(engine can stop running without warning resulting in a crash). I called the nissan's head office to see if the recall had been completed and was told that there were no open recalls on my vehicle and that all recalls on my vin # had been taken care of. So knowing this i believed that the sending unit was not the problem. 3. My mechanic removed and replaced the fuel pump and the vehicle still would not run. I mentioned the recall to him and he then carefully checked the sending unit for corrosion and discovered that there was an electrical short on the one connectors on top of the unit that he found due to the plastic on under the connector being cracked. This was definitely the problem, and i was told that the sending unit looked to be the original. The mechanic then purchased an oem fuel sending unit from nissan and my truck was fixed. The issue with this is that the part number on the new pump that was put into my vehicle is the same exact number as the one that was originally installed in the vehicle. This is unacceptable because the company put a new sending unit into the vehicle to comply with a recall knowing that the same existing problem would return. I feel like i am driving a ticking time bomb! It was not fun having my vehicle die on the highway without warning and it is very unsafe. I ended up spending $486. 97 out of my own pocket to fix the same part that was recalled only to have another part with the same part number and future problem.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
