Nissan Recall: Brake, Fuel Gauge Problems on 540,000 Vehicles

Another day, another huge recall from a major manufacturer. Today’s bad news comes from Nissan, who is recalling 540,000 vehicles for issues related to a faulty brake pedal pin assembly and fuel gauge accuracy concerns. In three cases, the brake pedal pin worked loose, causing loss of braking ability.

The fuel gauge issue is unrelated to the brake pedal recall, and effects “high mileage” vehicles only. Over time, the accuracy of the fuel gauge declines, which may cause drivers to run out of fuel unexpectedly. Details on the models included after the jump.

Vehicles impacted by today’s brake recall are:

2008 to 2010 Nissan Titan
2008 to 2010 Nissan Armada
2008 to 2010 Infiniti QX56
2008 to 2010 Nissan Quest

Vehicles impacted by today’s fuel gauge recall are:
2005 to 2008 Nissan Armada
2005 to 2008 Nissan Titan
2005 to 2008 Infiniti QX56

Nissan Frontier produced between 1/06 and 3/06 or 10/07 and 1/08
Nissan Pathfinder produced between 1/06 and 3/06 or 10/07 and 1/08
Nissan Xterra produced between 1/06 and 3/06 or 10/07 and 1/08
