Nissan Titan vehicles recalled for transmission parking pawl failure risk

Nissan is recalling 2020-2023 Titan vehicles and certain other models because the transmission parking pawl may fail to engage in park, risking vehicle rollaway and crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle defect where the transmission parking pawl may fail to engage, creating rollaway and crash risks. Since no actual incidents or injuries have been reported, the hazard remains theoretical and is classified as High severity.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2023 Nissan Titan vehicles, along with 2020-2022 Frontier and 2023 Z models, due to a transmission parking pawl defect. The parking pawl may fail to engage when the vehicle is shifted into park, which could allow the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly.

A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of crashes and injury. No incidents or injuries have been reported related to this defect, but the potential safety hazard warrants the recall.

Nissan dealers will reprogram the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and, for Titan models, the Engine Control Module (ECM) free of charge. Until repairs are completed, owners should apply the parking brake every time they park. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 28, 2022. Owners can contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 for more information.
