After those Toyota Recalls, Nissan released an announcement for the recall of a total of 539,864 vehicles due to defective brakes and fuel gauges. There are six models that are involved in this recall: Armada, Frontier, Pathfinder, Titan, Quest, and Xterra, as well as some Infinitis (QX56). Most of these vehicles are sold in the US.

The recall was not prompted due to any accidents involving these vehicles. Nissan received reports of brake pedal pins partially disengaging which was traced to a manufacturing error by one of their suppliers. In addition, defective fuel gauges was also observed: the indicator still indicated NOT empty even if the car had run out of fuel.

According to the Nissan site,

Beginning in March, owners of potentially affected vehicles in the brake pedal pin recall are being notified to bring their vehicles to a Nissan or Infiniti dealership for a quick, simple, visual inspection and, if necessary, repair.

Also beginning in March, owners of potentially affected vehicles under the recalls for fuel gauge inaccuracies will be notified as to when they should bring their vehicles to their dealers for repair. Until their fuel gauge senders are repaired, customers with potentially affected vehicles are encouraged to maintain a fuel level of at least a half-tank.
