| Description of the problem | We have a 2006 nissan xterra that we just bought used and the fuel sending unit is bad and there is a recall in your march 2010 for this vehicle. I ran the vin number and that particular vin number doesn't show a recall. I have contacted nissan and the had me do a diagnostic check with our local dealer and he confirms it is the fuel sending unit. The gauge just all of a sudden shows 1/4 tank which can be deceiving and dangerous if it runs out of gas. They nissan only offered to split cost of the repair but i find it hard to believe there are thousands of others of this same vehicle under recall but not mine for the very same problem. They point to the fact that the ntbs has not recalled this particular vehicle. Can you help this should be covered. |
