Buying a used 2018 Nissan Titan? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 90 owner complaints on file

Two critical recalls define this year: alternator wiring that can short and stall the engine, and tires that may fail suddenly on certain Altima and Titan trucks. Engine problems are by far the largest owner complaint category — 45 of 90 unverified reports filed with NHTSA — which lines up with the stall concern; fuel/propulsion and power train follow at 16 each. Two minor recalls cover a backup camera image that can stay off and a missing load capacity label on accessorized trucks.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Ask whether the alternator wiring recall was completed and whether the truck has ever stalled or thrown a warning light.
3. Check the tire DOT codes and ask whether the recalled tires were replaced.
4. Confirm the backup camera displays every time, and look for the load capacity label if accessories were added.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
