I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding a severe electrical failure and fire hazard inside the fuel tank of my 2015 Nissan NV200, directly related to Safety Recall PMA56 (NHTSA 25V676000). The dealership performed the recall service but refused to replace the fuel pump module, claiming no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) were present. Experiencing ongoing symptoms, I purchased an OEM replacement fuel pump and extracted the original module myself. Upon disassembly, I discovered: 1. Severe Electrical Arcing/Thermal Damage: The fuel level sender ceramic card, contacts, and internal harness connectors were completely charred, carbonized, and melted due to an active short circuit/extreme thermal event inside the module. 2. Debris Contamination: The internal short circuit melted the module's plastic housing, dropping burnt debris directly into the reservoir and clogging the fuel strainer. Running an active short circuit with exposed arcing contacts inside a volatile environment saturated with fuel vapors creates an imminent risk of tank explosion or vehicle fire. The dealership's protocol of only inspecting external wires or relying on DTCs is inadequate. I urge the NHTSA to audit Nissan's remedy procedures for Campaign 25V676000, as the current inspection protocol fails to detect severe internal module destruction
