2006 Nissan XTERRA Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	While driving the car low fuel light was on and the gauge got close to empty as expected while heading to a gas station. Shortly after, the gauge oddly changed to show 1/4 tank of gas incorrectly. Added gas at the station and confirmed the inaccurate gauge reading. Started the car and received a check engine light with code p0463. Fuel level sending unit appears to have failed. I had this confirmed at my local nissan dealer. This failure can cause the car to stall and increase the risk of a crash since it can cause the tank to go empty while the gauge shows it has gas. The issue is very similar to the nissan fuel sending unit recall (id # 10v075000) and may include the same defective part but oddly my issue is not covered in the existing recall. Nissan extended the warranty on this defective part and released a technical service bulletin for my vin, acknowledging the part had a high failure rate, but it has not been recalled. Unfortunately my issue is outside of the warranty extension and i am having difficulties getting it addressed by nissan. The nissan customer support specialist i dealt with admitted that in their opinion this issue should have been covered under a recall. It seems to me and many other customers i have spoke with that nissan is extending warranties to reduce complaints in hopes of avoiding a mass recall on all generation 2 xterra, pathfinders, and titans. This is a recurring safety problem for many nissan customers that is being neglected by the manufacturer. Please expand the recall on fuel sending units to include all affected years and models.

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.
