Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan titan. There is a safety recall nhtsa 10v074000 for a defective fuel gauge sending unit. The recall notice states; the instrument panel fuel gauge may inaccurately display that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when the fuel tank is empty. My truck has precisely that problem, i have run out of gas on the road several times when the gauge shows 1/4 full. I set up an appointment for this recall and when i arrvied i was told i did not qualify. I called nissan today and again was told i do not qualify though they could not tell me what vin's or manufacturing dates qualify. I believe that since my truck exhibits the problem described in the recall, my vehicle should qualify for replacement of the fuel sender unit. |
