They added that "the pins were misformed and could become dislodged from the housing." There have been no accidents, injuries or deaths reported with the brake pedal pin recall, they said.

They include the 2005-'08 Nissan Titan, Armada and Infiniti QX56 and the Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra built between January and March 2006 and between October 2007 and January 2008, the automaker said in a statement. 

"Vehicles at higher mileage levels may have incorrectly Which fuel gauges indicate the amount of fuel in the tank," Nissan said in a statement. "This may result in the vehicle running out of fuel while the gauge reads greater than empty." 

Standish said that typically "fuel goes down to a quarter of a tank and [the gauge] will stop." They noted there are two causes for the faulty fuel gauge. One is a problem with corrosion on the sensor that causes "an interference with the electronics on the sensor," he said. The other is a mechanical problem "where part of the sensor system will come in contact with the side of the fuel tank," he said. No accidents, injuries or deaths are related to the faulty fuel gauge recall.Read More Story,http://www.insideline.com/nissan/nissan-to-recall-500000-vehicles.html
