Buying a used 2020 Nissan Titan? Check these 5 recalls first
Five recalls here, more than the earlier Titans: critical engine wiring that can short and spark, critical tires that may fail suddenly, two separate high-severity recalls for trucks that may roll away while in Park, and cracking front turn signal bulbs. Only 22 complaints are on file, led by power train and electrical system at 7 each, so the sample is small; among those unverified reports are 2 crashes, 2 injuries and 1 fire.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Verify the engine wiring recall repair and inspect the harness for chafing or heat damage.
- Shift to Park on an incline and confirm the truck holds; ask whether both rollaway recalls were performed.
- Check tire replacement records and inspect the front turn signal bulbs for cracking.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
