Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address the Safety Risk

NHTSA reports one Electrical System recall for certain 2013 Nissan Frontier vehicles. The circuit breaker may be installed incorrectly, positioning the main wire harness toward a metal bolt on the A-pillar. Continued contact can wear through the harness covering, create an electrical short, and potentially cause a fire. Waiting to investigate a recall can leave a known safety concern unresolved, even if the truck seems to drive normally. A warning from Nissan, a concern about electrical performance, or uncertainty about a past repair should prompt a VIN check. The inspection and applicable manufacturer remedy are designed to address this specific risk.
