Nissan Titan engine wiring can short and spark

NHTSA campaign 20V759000 · Reported 2020-12-08 · Nissan North America, Inc.

critical How serious is it? About this label

Serious: the notice warns of both a sudden stall that could cause a crash and a risk of fire, but Nissan has not told owners to stop driving or park outside, so you can keep driving while you get this fixed promptly.

What's wrong, in plain English

The bundle of electrical wires that runs across the engine may have a spot where the covering is missing, leaving bare wire exposed. If that bare wire touches another wire, it can short out or spark. That can affect how the engine, transmission, or fuel pump work, and the truck could stall while you are driving. A short or spark can also start a fire under the hood. A dealer will check the wiring and replace it if needed.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your truck is included.
2. Call your Nissan dealer to schedule the engine harness inspection, or contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
3. Have the inspection and any harness replacement done — it is free of charge.
