We receive a letter from infiniti company because I'm the owner of a infinity qx56, year 2006 notifying me that the fuel gauge in some of the vehicle may be inaccurate due to a malfunction in the fuel level sending unit, that cause the instrument panel fuel gauge to inaccurately display that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when the fuel tank is empty and that if this were to occur on my vehicle, the vehicle could stall, which could create an unsafe condition which could result in a crash. I never ago has this problem but I ever maintain the fuel level in my vehicle so the fuel gauge reads above the one half position, so I was very interesting to have my vehicle repaired, but I was based in panam city so I want to know how is the process for the persons that was outside of USA.

Related recalls
Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- 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.
