POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
- The defect
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Titan, 2020-2022 Frontier, and 2023 Z vehicles. The transmission parking pawl may not engage when the vehicle is shifted into park, which can result in a vehicle rollaway.
- What it can cause
- A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to apply the parking brake every time they park their vehicle. Dealers will perform the applicable repairs below, free of charge: Model Year 2020-2022 Frontier vehicles: reprogram Transmission Control Module (TCM) Model Year 2020-2022 Titan vehicles: reprogram TCM and Engine Control Module (ECM) Model Year 2023 Titan vehicles: reprogram TCM Model Year 2023 Z vehicles: reprogram TCM. Owner notification letters were mailed October 28, 2022. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 197,230 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 95% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nissan vehicles have been recalled over the power train 12 times before this, most recently in June 2022 as 22V457000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 256 complaints with NHTSA, 50 of them before this campaign was filed. 89 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2020, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V580000 (air bags), 23V273000 (tires), 22V772000 (back over prevention), 22V527000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Nissan North America, Inc. with NHTSA on September 7, 2022 as campaign 22V671000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
