TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD MOVE FROM FULL TO EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY INFORMED HER THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS THE FUEL SENSOR. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE STORAGE, AUXILIARY TANK) SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT HER OWN EXPENSE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO CONFIRMED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.
