Description of the problem	My 2005 nissan xterra se has approximately 73,000 miles on it, and the fsu (fuel sending unit) has stopped working. In other words, the gas gauge does not read accurately. For example, yesterday i filled the tank, and the gas gauge reads anywhere from a quarter-tank to a half-tank (changes sporadically). Nissan has issued a recall for this issue for some 2006 and 2008 models, but from my online research, this issue seems to be occurring with other model years. The vehicle was significantly redesigned with the 2005 model, and subsequent years have seen only minor updates to this redesign. So it stands to reason that the recall should be expanded to include 2005 models, when everything was redesigned. Clearly, not knowing how much gas you have in the tank is a safety issue, as one could end up running out of gas on the freeway, or out in a rural area at night, or some other unsafe scenario.

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.
