Component: BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2017-2019 gasoline, light duty, Titan vehicles. The alternator harness may have been damaged during the engine installation process, possibly resulting in an electrical short.
Consequence: An electrical short may cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, it increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the alternator harness for the proper routing and any damage. The harness will be clipped into the correct position or replaced as necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 8, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
I had a check engine light for catalytic converter bank 1. Added a cleaner to see if that would help - instructions mention run 1 - 2 tanks of gas after adding, so I did that, it took a while since I dont use the truck as often. The light did not clear so I was planning on bringing it in. I was on the highway and the check engine light starting flashing and power loss occurred. I limped off the highway and got it towed. It had 3 codes on check engine light. Other than the check engine light, no warnings, messages, nor symptoms appeared or occurred prior to the flashing check engine light. Got to Mastria Nissan, they looked at it for not long (morning) and said the engine and other components were junk. Presented a $27,000 bill. They did not tear it down nor illustrate what went wrong. Police nor insurance inspected the truck. Safety was compromised as it died on the highway where everyone was doing 70 plus. Had to limp off the highway as the pull off area was very busy and not spacious whatsoever. Truck has 28,000 miles on it and was planning on the 6th oil change. The first 2 were done at Nissan and I changed the oil myself other times. Drained oil had an appropriate volume. No oil has ever leaked. I have order history on oil and have the last oil change oil in my garage still. I filed a claim with Nissan corporate, I have emails with them, but i got a denial over phone on January 5th. They claimed they dont have enough service history and im 6 months out of warranty. Also, on the call, they refused to send the denial by email or regular mail.
The infotainment system within my vehicle is problematic... At any given time the infotainment system will force reboot itself, freeze, freeze or delay when the backup camera is engaged, reboot when the backup camera is engaged. There seems to be no rhyme or reason when this happens and I cannot determine exact steps to reproduce the issues; it just happens.

Component: TIRES
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Altima and 2018-2021 Titan vehicles equipped with Continental tires. On the affected vehicles, it is possible that one or more tires were cured for too long during tire production.
Consequence: Over cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall, resulting in sudden air loss or belt edge separation which could lead to tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, and replace them as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 11, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PC798.
Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Titan vehicles equipped with LED headlights. The headlights may have incorrect aiming marks. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence: The incorrect marks may cause the headlights to be aimed incorrectly during servicing, resulting in insufficient illumination of the road while driving at night, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the headlight assemblies, free of charge. The recall began October 20, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PC751.
While operating vehicle within city limits the engine failed and the vehicle was unable to move under its own power. While slowing down, the vehicle's check engine light came on and the vehicle immediately lost power and would not turn over. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic's shop and after reviewing the problem and performing an inspection, it was determined the engine crankshaft seized.
Check engine light went on and the Truck went into low power mode. Took it to an independent service center and it was no longer throwing the code. It happened a couple more times, took it to the dealership and the diagnostic was: Setting in ECM., Actuator is Binding causing DTC and vehicle to go into Reduced Power Mode. This seams to be a very common issue in Nissan Titan XD's. Maybe should be a recall? A very pricy repair for a vehicle that only has 45000 miles on it.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle entered LIMP Mode and lost motive power. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 86,000.
Sudden shaking, loss of power, CEL came on, metal debris found in fuel system. $32,396.32 estimate to repair. Told it originated from failed CP4 pump. Truck under 80,000 miles
Alternator harness is defective in my 2019 Nissan Titan. My truck has stalled on me twice while running and my air conditioner compressor has stopped working and radio is not working properly, and it is draining my battery, there is a delay when starting my vehicle as if it does not have enough power. I replaced the air conditioner compressor and vehicle battery. After replacing the air conditioner compressor it stopped working after two weeks. I can hear the air conditioner struggling when it is turn on, my radio and back up camera stop working all of sudden as if it is not getting enough power, then it will start working again. Radio turns on and off by itself. My vehicle omits a burnt smell from the engine. A research of the issues with my vehicle I located a recall with similar issues (19V495000) that affected 2017-2019 Nissan Titans.
Vehicle has a fluttering or lagging feel/sound when accelerating, often taking longer to accelerate than it should. When merging on to a highway, this has become a danger to myself and others. This problem has been confirmed by Nissan in tens of thousands of Nissan Titans. More recently, my truck (only 47,000 miles) shifts into reverse but will not actually go into reverse, which is pointing to a transmission problem.
2019 Nissan Titan XD Diesel 153,700 miles. Driving 70-75mph on Texas highway and felt a vibration when I pressed on the gas pedal. Started moving over to exit due to power loss when a slight puff of smoke came out. I pulled over in a safe area and shut the truck off. There were NO Warning lights on the cluster. When I stepped out a small puddle of oil had already started to form under the truck. Open the hood and the passenger side engine compartment was covered in oil. I noticed oil formed on the license plate and was dripping out of the exhaust pipe. Oil had dripped off the under carriage from front to back, large amount formed under the vehicle after sitting for 1hr. We towed the vehicle to the local Nissan dealer and the result was a broken crank and possible transmission failure. I have reach out to Nissan corp to file a complaint as well. This vehicle has never experienced any significant issues, Nissan had no history prior to my reporting today. I have owned the vehicle since 2019 when I purchased it with 6k miles on it. Nissan has quoted me $32,660.63 for repairs (engine/Trans replacement), this is almost what I purchased the vehicle for in 2019.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the “DEF System Error - See Dealer" message was displayed with a countdown for reduced power. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the fuel system error in the fuel pump system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,888.
In cold weather, generally below freezing, the tailgate of the 2019 Titan will not open. When attempting to open the tailgate, the latch is lifted up, but the tailgate will not open. However, once the temperature rises to high 20's, low 30'sF, the tailgate will open on its own. I believe lifting the tailgate latch puts this sequence into motion. In the first incident, I tried to open the tailgate in cold weather, it would not open. Then, while traveling down a highway, the tailgate opened by itself resulting in several large toolboxes spilling out of the bed and onto the highway. I was not aware of this until I got to my office. The truck was taken to a Nissan dealer who replaced the electrical and mechanical tailgate locking mechanisms (under warranty) in January 2024. Now, in January 2025, with the recent cold spell in the northeast, the tailgate again would not open. And as before, later the tailgate fell open on its own (thankfully there was noting in the bed of the truck). I took the truck to the same Nissan dealership and explained that tailgate problem was not fixed. The technician looked on her computer and, I am quoting, said to me "this is a common problem". I asked if there is a safety recall on this issue and the tech told me "no". Nissan stated I would have to pay for the fix this time as it was over a year since the last time they [failed] to fixed the tailgate . This is a serious safety concern in that the tailgate can open unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving allowing the cargo to spill out into moving traffic. Please issue a safety recall immediately. Nissan knows this is a problem and will not act on it! I stopped at the local police department and explained what happen. I went to the police to see if anyone picked up any of my tools I lost and gave them to the police. Not a single tool was turned in. I lost several hundred $$ of tools due to the tailgate opening. Thankfully, I don't believe it caused any one to damage their vehicle.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that there was a knocking sound coming from the driver’s side of the vehicle. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and then while the vehicle was idling, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed failure with cylinder #7. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The engine was replaced at 27,000. The contact stated that at 80,000 miles the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Capital City Nissan of Topeka (1980 SW Topeka Blvd, Topeka, KS 66612) to be diagnosed and the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced again. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact referenced Technical Service Bulletin/NHTSA ID Number: 10174416 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the vehicle was not covered under the TSB or a warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.
Clutch Fan has failed twice and caused major damage in the engine compartment: Clutch fan, clutch fan sensor , sensor harness and radiator plus radiator shroud
I stopped to get diesel and pulled onto the interstate. Within 2 miles of being on the interstate, the engine felt as though it downshifted, lost power, and stalled in a construction one lane zone with no way to get out of traffic. The engine would no longer turn over and the truck would not start. This was a danger, not only to me, but to other drivers on the interstate. Had taken 90 miles away to a certified diesel nissan dealership who said all of the fluids were good and the motor was locked solid. It was not covered by warranty ans was estimated to cost $32,000.00 to replace motor.
While towing a 30 foot 5th Wheel trailer up a steep grade on [XXX] in Washington state, the truck's engine abruptly slowed, and subsequent dashboard warning lights appeared. We were forced in to attempting a change of lanes to reach the shoulder. This was extremely difficult and traumatic, due to the steep road grade, abrupt slowing of our vehicle, fast moving upcoming traffic and the number of semi-trucks traveling in the right lanes. Because the speed limit in this area is 70 mph, most vehicles traveling at 80+ mph. But at the time when the truck started to fail, we were traveling at approximately 62 mph. This was an obvious and dangerous hazard to not only myself, but my family and other vehicles in the immediate area of traffic. Without warning or prior indication, our vehicle abruptly slowed down, which caused a great deal of vehicles following ours to quickly change lanes in order to avoid a collision with not only our vehicle/trailer, but other vehicles traveling and maneuvering around ours and other traffic. Once we were able to turn around and "limp" home(which in itself was extremely risky). I brought the truck for diagnostic testing at Advantage Nissan or Bremerton, WA. Upon testing, the fault was shown as an EGR coolant or coolant reservoir fault(s). In researching, it is obvious this is a known historical Safety issue or problem with Nissan's 2016-2019 Cummins 5.0 diesel engine equipped vehicles.
