Description of the problem	2006 nissan frontier le 4x4. Fuel gauge is not reading accurately. This caused me to run out of gas on november 14th, 2012, when the gauge was well above the "low gas" threshold. It was a very scary experience for me as i was in traffic at the time when the engine stalled at around 40mph. I fear this could happen again and now i'm afraid to drive with my grandkids in my truck. I researched this problem and traced it to a common defect with the fuel level sending unit that is a safety recall which affects many nissan vehicles, including 2006 frontier models but somehow excluding my 2006 frontier: ************** nhtsa campaign id number: 10v075000 recall date: 2010-03-03 summary: nissan is recalling certain model year 2006 and model year 2008 frontier, xterra and pathfinder vehicles. The molded fuel tank shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty. Consequences: this could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the fuel level sending unit inside the fuel tank with a new one that has a modified float arm. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before march 22, 2010. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261. Component affected: fuel system, gasoline:storage:auxillary tank notes: nissan north america, inc. ***************
