Description of the problem	Service engine light came on, followed by airbag light. A diagnostic at the dealer showed the "sending unit" on the fuel gauge was not functioning and the airbag sensor was also not functioning. When i googled it, i found several recalls on this year/make/model (on your website). The fuel gauge system will say there is 1/4 gas when it's empty or will drop to "e" for empty when there is still gas in the tank. I now have to use my odometer to gauge my gas usage since i ran out of gas in the middle of an intersection at rush hour a few weeks ago. At the same time the service engine light came on for the sending unit issue, the red airbag light came on as well. So i'm driving around in a car that has faulty airbag sensors and fuel gauge sending unit. The two issues are doing the exact same thing the recall notices describe, yet it's not part of the recalls? I have been in contact with corporate nissan via email twice now and they refuse to acknowledge these recalls apply to my vehicle/vin #. I am the second owner of the vehicle (it was purchased via auction in new york) and thought that was why i had not received the recall notices. However, it turns out nissan will not disclose which vin numbers were part of those recalls and refuse to pay the repair services for either issue citing my vin# was not included in the recall notices. Then why is my car doing exactly what is described in the recall notices?

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.
