What is wrong
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 titan, armada, and infiniti qx56 vehicles. The instrument panel fuel gauge may inaccurately display that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when the fuel tank is empty.
Risk
This could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall on the highway, which could cause a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel sender unit inside the fuel tank with a new improved sender card. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 22, 2010. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.

Filed Nov 6, 2026 · Airbags · CA

On September 15, 2026, the vehicle was brought to an authorized dealership for official Safety Recall #PC947 (Airbag Module Replacement). During the recall procedure, the technician unbolted and removed the driver-side airbag assembly. Immediately following this recall service, the steering wheel clock spring (spiral cable) ribbon cable failed, completely disabling both the horn and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS airbag). The failure occurred within 1.4 miles of post-service driving (verified by invoice odometer records). Prior to the recall work, the vehicle had zero warning lights and a fully functioning horn. Confirmation & Diagnostics: The failure was formally diagnosed and confirmed by the dealership on October 16, 2026 (Invoice #R005609307). Diagnostic scans confirmed open circuit fault codes B1049 and B1054, confirming complete loss of electrical continuity to the steering wheel airbag and horn assembly. Additionally, the multi-point inspection sheet contained severe record errors, marking "Horn Operation OK" despite writing on the diagnostic invoice that the horn circuit was dead. The dealership also damaged the driver's window regulator during the same diagnostic visit. The original failed components remain installed on the vehicle and are available for inspection upon request.

The rear differential and axle has an inevitable failure with no warning lights or much anything else besides some possible noises! The vent designs are terrible it causes overheating and internal turmoil over time seals start leaking, bearings and internal gears Get weak from over hot /cold repeated cycles allowing moisture to build and accumulate in the 3rd member where it’s supposed to be completely sealed and dry other then gear oil to lube and maintain proper function. My personal and current experience is I’m without my truck, missing work and very . Very thankful that it didn’t lock up on the highway/freeway that I drive too and from work about 85 miles daily! The best part is there’s no fast cost efficient resolution! the differential open carrier with spider gears held in place by a shaft pin and tiny 8 mm bolt that broke causing the pin to slide back and forth (pinball effect) into the ring /pinion, side gears, spider gears untill it either gets jammed in the gears and instantly locks up or slowly fractures away untill gears held by nothing, collide causing catastrophic failure! I Happened to notice the inside of rear wheel wet because when I was exiting the highway I heard a faint sound almost like a bolt or rock or something hit underneath the truck so I took a glance at everything and noticed that wheel grease soaked and a little fluid on the bottom of transfer case.. long story short I drove it approximately 1 mile to a shop there it still sits needing complete different axle and differential or a whole new carrier and all bearings/seals spacers possibly axle shaft don’t know yet and dealership can not get any parts for it!! The parts are obsolete! None! Don’t sell them, don’t make them….. they recommend and can only replace whole unit around 3-5k thousands of dollars I wish I had!! All of the research I’ve done tells me this is a HUGE problem! Theres hundreds of thousands of people that this has happened too! Asking why isn’t there a recall??!
