| Description of the problem | Recall number 10v075000 recall date 03/03/2010 component fuel system, gasoline:storage:auxillary tank 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. Consequence this could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash. What owners should do 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. Read more at https://www. Cars. Com/recalls/nissan-xterra-2006/#l0jrs5l0sdaqitlu. 99 |
