NISSAN FRONTIER 2006 ALL HAVE A COMMON DEFECTIVE PART, THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I HAVE THIS TRUCK AND AT APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES, THE SENSOR WENT OUT GIVING ME THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON", CODE NUMBER P0463. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID IT WOULD $350 TO REPLACE, AT MY EXPENSE. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH IN INTERNET FORUMS, THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH ALL 2006 FRONTIERS WITH THE SENSOR GOING OUT AT APPROX 42,000-43,000 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, LEAVING THE OWNER NOT KNOWING HOW FULL THE FUEL TANK IS. THERE ARE POST ON VARIOUS FORUMS OF DRIVERS BEING STRANDED WITH AN EMPTY TANK DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE PART. NISSAN HAS RECALLED SOME OF THE VEHICLES FOR THIS DEFECT BUT WHEN I ADVISED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT MY TRUCK HAD THE SAME DEFECT, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE BROADENED TO ALL VEHICLES PRODUCED IN THAT YEAR. *TR

NISSAN FRONTIER 2006 FUEL GUAGE NO LONGER WORKING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. VEHICLE HAS 50K MILES ON IT. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL, AND SINCE THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THIS WOULD COST ME $450 OUT OF POCKET. FROM READING POSTS ON THE WEB, I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSANS FROM 2005-2007. I HAVE NO WAY OF BEING SURE I HAVE SUFFICIENT FUEL, WHICH WOULD SEEM, TO ME, TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF I AM CAUGHT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WITH NO FUEL? I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO DANGER IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE *AS IS*...... AND AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THIS WOULD NOT BE A RECALL ISSUE IF SO MANY VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED BY THE SAME THING.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Mar 3, 2010
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND MODEL YEAR 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE THAT HAS A MODIFIED FLOAT ARM. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

IF THIS OCCURS, THE CZS MAY INTERNALLY RUST RESULTING IN A SIGNAL INTERRUPTION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE TO ALERT THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS ISSUE COULD RESULT IN THE NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAGS IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT CZS WITH A REDESIGNED SENSOR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 26, 2009. OWNERS IN THE OTHER STATES WILL RECEIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE SENSOR TO 10 YEARS.

Opened Mar 30, 2026 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Engine And Engine Cooling; Fuel System, Gasoline
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a Petition dated February 5, 2026, requesting an investigation into model year (MY) 2006 Nissan Frontier vehicles. The Petitioner alleges that the vehicle poses an imminent fire hazard due to “[a] powerful and persistent odor of raw gasoline” that he says “emanates from the vehicle” and “indicat[es] a breach in fuel system integrity.” He further alleges that the vehicles can experience sudden engine stalling “during startup and operation,” which he believes could cause collisions or loss of vehicle control. The Petitioner further alleges these symptoms are identical to conditions addressed in previous NHTSA recalls (10V-517, 07V-435, and 10V-075) and that the issues persist in the 2006 MY Nissan fleet despite these past actions. ODI is opening this Defect Petition to evaluate the Petitioner’s allegations and determine whether to grant or deny the Petition. The Petition can be viewed at NHTSA.gov under NHTSA Number 11718552.

On February 29, 2012 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a letter petitioning the agency to conduct a defect investigation into MY 2005-2010 Nissan Pathfinder, Frontier, and Xterra vehicles [the subject vehicles] for automatic transmission failures related to failed transmission coolers.NHTSA conducted a comprehensive review of data related to this subject. Our report, documenting this review, is available in the document file for this defect petition.It will also be published in the Federal Register. Of the 2,505 referenced complaints, 638 relate to a potential hazard (unable to maintain speed, no motive power, engine stall) and 1,867 concern customer satisfaction issues including, but not limited to, repair cost, vehicle shudder and shake, and engine overheating.Taking into account the allocation of agency resources and priorities and the likelihood that additional investigation would result in a finding that an unreasonable risk to highway safety exists, we conclude that further investigation is not warranted and deny the petition.ODI Complaint ID numbers are referenced on the next page.
