Nissan Recalls On Selected Vehicles Due to Brake & Fuel Gauge Issues

There have been three reported instances of brake pedal pins partially disengaging, causing a loss of normal braking ability, and Nissan has determined that a manufacturing error on the part of the supplier is at the root of this issue. All vehicles currently on sale are free of this problem.

Unrelated to the brake-pin issue, vehicles at higher mileage levels may have fuel gauges which incorrectly indicate the amount of fuel in the tank. This may result in the vehicle running out of fuel while the gauge reads greater than empty. All vehicles currently on sale are free of this problem.

These recall campaigns involve a total of 539,864 vehicles, a majority of which are in the United States.

Models and numbers of vehicles with potentially affected brake pedal pins are:

* 2008 through 2010 model year Nissan Titan, Armada, Quest and Infiniti QX56
* 178,916 in the U.S., 25,869 outside the U.S. (see box for locations)

Models and numbers of vehicles with potential fuel gauges inaccuracies are:

* 2005 through 2008 model year Nissan Titan, Armada and Infiniti QX56
* Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra produced between January and March 2006 and between October 2007 and January 2008
* 418,865 in the U.S., 53,253 outside the U.S. (see box for locations)
