My vehicle is experiencing the exact same issue as reported in NHTSA campaign number: 10V074000. My fuel gauge stops working at about a quarter of a tank, and I have a high mileage vehicle. Somehow, my vehicle is not under the recall.

My 2005 Nissan Armada has the problem described in NHTSA #10V-074. Nissan claims my vehicle is not part of the recall even thought the recall is for 2005 - 2009 Nissan Armadas. It is very frustrating to have a safety problem, learn that the manufacturer is aware of it and has a recall, but to be told that it doesn't apply to your vehicle. Clearly it does, because I have the exact problem described, "issue can cause the fuel gauge to show that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when fuel tank is empty."
