INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting a voluntary safety recall campaign on certain MY2006 and 2008 Frontier, Xterra, and Pathfinder vehicles to address a potential fuel
gauge inaccuracy. Specifically, the issue can cause the fuel gauge to show that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when the
fuel tank is actually empty. To remedy this potential condition, Nissan is conducting this Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign to replace the fuel level
sending unit with a new one at no charge for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC042 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature
dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer's responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall
which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and
vehicles in a dealer's inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior
to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies only to new
vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
