3. 10V075000Received 3 Mar 2010. 80,689 units.

   Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Auxillary Tank

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

   This could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 22 Mar 2010.

4. 08V690000Received 29 Dec 2008. 242,720 units.

   Air Bags / Frontal

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan is recalling 242,720 my 2005-2009 pathfinder, frontier and xterra vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. In those areas of the country which use heavy concentrations of road salt in the winter, a mixture of snow/water and salt can enter into the front crash zone sensor (czs) housing. If this occurs, the czs may internally rust resulting in a signal interruption. If this happens, the red air bag warning light will illuminate to alert the vehicle operator.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This issue could result in the non-deployment of the driver and passenger front air bags in a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the front czs with a redesigned sensor. The recall began on january 26, 2009. Owners in the other states will receive extended warranty coverage for the sensor to 10 years. These owners will be notified of the warranty extension by mail and will receive a sticker to place in their warranty booklet explaining the extended warranty coverage. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
