Description of the problem	nhtsa campaign id number: 10v075000: 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. This could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash. My vehicle was denied coverage because the vin was not in the recall batch. An authorized nissan dealer diagnosed and fixed the issue. Nissan america reviewed the issue and still denied coverage not because the failure was legitimate but rather because of the vin technicality. Vehicles in my vin lot need to be added to this safety recall.
