***** Campaign Summary *****
Nissan is committed to the safety and security of our customers and their passengers. Nissan
has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is recalling certain MY2020-2022 Nissan
Frontier and Titan vehicles to address a transmission parking pawl concern.
Due to dimensional variation, reduced clearance may cause contact between the edge of the parking pawl and the boss on the transmission case, which may result in non-engagement of the parking pawl. If this occurs, an affected vehicle may move after the driver places the shifter into “Park” without engaging the parking brake. In this condition, the vehicle could result in a rollaway, which increases the risk of injury or crash.
Customers will receive an Interim Owner Letter advising to apply the parking brake whenever they place their vehicle in “Park”. Once the final remedy is available, owners will receive a second owner notification letter instructing them to bring their vehicle to an authorized Nissan dealer to have the final remedy work completed at no cost to the owner.
Dealers are able to identify the potentially affected vehicles in Service Comm and DBS National Service History since July 8, 2022.
***** Release Schedule *****

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q. Is this a safety recall?
Yes.
Q. Is this a Stop Sale?
Yes.
Q. What is the reason for the voluntary safety recall?
Due to dimensional variation, reduced clearance may cause contact between the edge of the parking pawl and the boss on the transmission case, which may result in non-engagement of the parking pawl. If this occurs, an affected vehicle may move after the driver places the shifter into “Park” without engaging the parking brake. In this condition, the vehicle could result in a rollaway, which increases the risk of injury or crash.
Q. What is the possible effect of the condition?
An affected vehicle may move after placing the shifter in to the ‘Park’ position. If a driver does not engage the parking brake, potential for movement of the vehicle increases the risk of injury or crash.
Q. What will be the corrective action for this voluntary safety recall campaign?
Nissan will replace the transmission parking pawl pin. This service will be performed at no cost to the owner for parts or labor.
Q. How long will the corrective action take?
Once parts are available, the remedy could take up to three and a half (3.5) hours to complete on four wheel drive vehicles and could take up to one and a half hours (1.5) on two wheel drive vehicles. However, your Nissan dealer may require your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule.
Q. When will vehicle owners be notified?
Nissan began sending interim notification letters to owners of affected vehicles in July 2022, via U.S. Mail. Once parts are available, owners will receive an invitation to repair letter instructing them to bring their vehicle to an authorized Nissan
dealer to have the remedy work completed at no cost to the owner.

Description of the Defect:
Due to dimensional variation during the manufacturing process, reduced clearance may cause contact between the edge of the parking pawl and the boss on the transmission case, which may result in non-engagement of the parking pawl. If this occurs, an affected vehicle may move after placing the shifter into ‘Park.’ If the customer does not engage the parking brake, potential for movement of the vehicle increases the risk of injury or crash.
Chronology of Principal Events:
In June 2021, Nissan received a field incident alleging a MY2020 Frontier vehicle began to move after being shifted into ‘Park.’ The dealer was unable to duplicate the concern. The transmission was collected and sent to the supplier (JATCO) for analysis. JATCO could not duplicate the customer claim and found no problem. Nissan
believed this was an isolated incident based on supplier analysis and conclusion.
In Fall of 2021, Nissan received additional warranty claims related to certain Frontier and Titan vehicles, reporting potential vehicle movement after being placed into ‘Park.’ Nissan
initiated a returned part investigation to further study the condition. During this time, Nissan
also scrambled to investigate three (3) customer claims and collect incident transmissions. Nissan
was unable to duplicate the condition in the field and continued to send collected parts to JATCO for further investigation. At the time, no accidents or injuries were reported.
January 2022 through February 2022 – Nissan expanded its investigation into warranty claims and any prior claims potentially related to Frontier and Titan vehicles moving while in ‘Park’. On February 22, 2022, a VOQ was submitted to NHTSA alleging a MY2020 Nissan
Frontier rollaway. Nissan
collected the incident transmission and sent it to JATCO for testing. JATCO was unable to duplicate the incident.
March 2022 through April 2022 – Nissan continued to collect incident parts from the field and shipped the collected parts to the supplier for analysis. Nissan
also initiated an additional scramble activity to secure a customer vehicle that was experiencing this transmission issue. JATCO’s continued duplication testing was then able to duplicate the issue. Analysis of the incident conditions determined the potential for interference between the parking pawl and the boss of the transmission case. This contact could potentially result in intermittent non-engagement of the parking pawl.
In late April, Nissan initiated a design assessment to analyze the scope of the issue in either a two-wheel drive (2WD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) system. On April 26, 2022, NHTSA requested additional information from Nissan
’s investigation regarding the February 22, 2022 VOQ.
May 2022 through June 2022 – Nissan completed its design assessment and concluded that both 2WD and 4WD vehicles could potentially experience the intermittent, nonengagement of the parking pawl condition.
June 16, 2022 – Nissan decided to conduct a recall campaign due to the safety risk of a potential rollaway condition after parking the vehicle.
Nissan is aware of four (4) allegations of minor injury.
Description of Corrective Action:
Nissan sent a preliminary notification of recall to Dealers on June 30, 2022. Dealers were notified on July 8, 2022 of the issue and affected VINs. On July 29, 2022 Dealers were notified of targeted remedy timeline and certain parts availability to replace the parking pawl pin.
Owners of all potentially affected vehicles received an interim notification beginning on July 20, 2022 and ending on August 20, 2022. The interim notification letters advised customers to apply the parking brake whenever they park their vehicles.
Owners will receive a final invitation to repair notification beginning in late November 2022.
The letter will instruct owners to schedule an appointment with a Nissan dealer to have the transmission parking pawl pin replaced free of charge.
Nissan will include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy for any subject vehicle that was no longer under warranty at the time of a repair.

INTERIM OWNER NOTIFICATION NHTSA Recall 22V-457 NOTIFICACIÓN PROVISIONAL AL PROPIETARIO Dear Nissan [Titan Frontier] Owner: This interim notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Nissan has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain [2020 2021 2022] Model Year Nissan [Titan Frontier] vehicles. Our records indicate that you own or lease the Nissan vehicle identified by the VIN on the inside of this notice. Reason for Recall Motivo del Retiro Due to a production issue on certain [Titan Frontier] vehicles, the edge of the parking pawl may contact the transmission case. This contact may result in non-engagement of the parking pawl after placing your vehicle into the ‘Park’ position. If the parking pawl does not engage, your vehicle may move after placing the shifter into ‘Park,’ which could increase the risk of injury or crash. What Nissan Will Do Qué Hará Nissan The final remedy for this recall is anticipated to be available in Fall 2022. When the final remedy is available, Nissan will send you a second letter asking you to bring your vehicle to a Nissan dealer for repair, which will be free of charge for parts and labor. What You Should Do Qué Debes Hacer Until the remedy is available, Nissan recommends that you apply the parking brake each time you shift your [2020 2021 2022] [Titan Frontier] vehicle into ‘Park.’ Your MY [2020 2021 2022] Nissan [Titan Frontier] vehicle is subject to a new Safety Recall. The parking pawl in your vehicle may not engage when shifting into ‘Park,’ which could increase the risk of injury or crash.
