VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
2023 FRONTIER, TITAN/TITAN XD; SPARE TIRE INSPECTION
CAMPAIGN ID #: PC974
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2023 Frontier (D41)
2023 Titan/Titan XD (A61)
Check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS)
National Service History to confirm campaign eligibility.
INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign on certain specific model year
2023 Frontier, Titan and Titan XD vehicles to inspect and, if necessary, replace the spare
tire. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC974 to this campaign. This number must
appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS)
National Service History for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of
this voluntary safety recall which for any reason enters the service department. This
includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners
and vehicles in a dealer’s inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer
inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale.
Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly
encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
