| Description of the problem | Fuel gauge is no longer accurate. Nhtsa campaign id # 10v075000 was issued for 2006 nissan frontiers. I called nissan but they said my vin number was not included in the recall. Apparently they think it's just a coincidence that i'm having the exact same problem with my 2006 nissan frontier. "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. Fuel gauge reads just under a quarter tank at all times, no matter if the tank is empty or full. |
