3. Total Number of Vehicles Potentially Involved:
Approximately 7,583 vehicles total are subject to this recall.
Model Volume of Production
MY 2020 Nissan Titan 7061

4. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:
0.8%1
5. Description of the Defect:
On certain Model Year 2020 Nissan Titan and Titan XD vehicles, the EGI harness
may have been assembled incorrectly by the supplier, which may have left an
exposed wire. If this occurs, the exposed wire may contact the copper wire from
the shielded transmission power wire and cause an electrical short or arcing.
An electrical short may cause the vehicle to experience abnormal engine and
transmission performance. This short might affect the fuel pump power supply,
potentially causing an engine stall while driving without the ability to restart; which
may increase risk of a crash. In addition, the short may cause harness thermal
damage that could potentially cause a thermal incident, which may increase risk
of injury.
6. Chronology of Principal Events:
March 12, 2020 – Certain Nissan Titan vehicles reportedly experienced an electrical
issue upon connecting the battery. Nissan immediately began to investigate the
issue.
March 2020 through July 2020 – Nissan experienced business interruptions of U.S.
operations due to COVID-19 public health concerns. The Canton, MS plant was
shut down during March 30, 2020 to June 8, 2020. During the shutdown, the
investigation process was slowed due to disruptions while complying with stayat-
home orders. Nissan attempted to work with the supplier to investigate the
issue; however, the supplier also experienced business interruptions until the end
of July 2020.
August 2020 through September 2020 – Upon resuming operations, the supplier
initiated an internal investigation to determine the cause of the incident. As part
of the investigation process, the supplier began bench testing to recreate the
condition and assess the failure modes.
October 2020 – The supplier investigation revealed that on certain Titan vehicles,
the splice-making process during EGI harness manufacturing might have left an
exposed wire. If the transmission power wire is exposed, then it may contact the

copper wire from the shielded transmission power wire and cause an electrical
short or arcing on some of the affected vehicles.
During this period, on October 5, 2020, Nissan received a field report of a thermal
incident occurring under the hood that appeared to be related to the subject
condition. Nissan investigated the alleged incident and initiated further study of
the recovered components to analyze the root cause of the thermal incident.
November 2020 – Nissan’s investigation of the recovered components revealed
that a damaged EGI harness was the cause of the thermal event. No injuries were
reported. Nissan also confirmed that the subject condition only affects Titan and
Titan XD models equipped with gasoline engines due to the unique frame design
and manufacturing process.
December 1, 2020 – Based on the results of the investigation, Nissan decided to
conduct a safety recall campaign.
7. Description of Corrective Action:
Owners of the subject vehicles will be notified beginning on January 27, 2021.
Dealers were notified on December 9, 2020. The dealer will inspect the EGI
harness and replace with a new one if damaged. If no damage, the harness will
be re-assembled.
Nissan will not include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning
reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy for the subject
vehicles as they are under warranty. Your office will be provided with a copy of
the Part 577 owner notification for approval.
8. Copy of Notices:
Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA as they become available.
