FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
What Happened
The auxiliary fuel tank in your vehicle is a smaller tank that helps when you need extra fuel. In some 2006 and 2008 Frontier, Xterra, and Pathfinder models, this tank's shell can warp and cause the fuel gauge to show a quarter full when the tank is actually empty.
Risk if Unfixed
If your gauge is wrong, you might think you have gas when you really don't. This can cause your vehicle to run out of fuel and stall in traffic, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the faulty fuel sending unit with a new one that's designed to work correctly, all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
