Transmission Parking Pawl Rollaway
The transmission parking pawl may not engage when the vehicle is shifted into Park, allowing the truck to roll away even on slight inclines. This affects the new 9-speed automatic transmission and creates a serious crash risk.
Nissan issued two recalls in June 2022 and September 2022 to replace the transmission parking pawl pin. Dealers will also reprogram the TCM and ECM. Contact your dealer with recall IDs 22V-374 and 22V-690.
Est. Cost: $0 (recall)Rearview Camera and Infotainment Failure
The backup camera display flashes, shows a distorted image, or goes completely blank. The infotainment screen may also turn off and stay off during normal operation. Warning lights illuminate randomly with no actual fault present.
Nissan recalls 22V527000 and 22V772000 provide free software updates for the infotainment and camera systems. Dealers will update the IVI software to resolve the rebooting and display issues.
Est. Cost: $0 (recall)9-Speed Automatic Gear Hunting
The new 9-speed automatic transmission hunts for gears constantly, particularly at low speeds and on slight inclines. It prematurely downshifts, creates a sluggish feel, and cannot settle on the correct gear during steady-state cruising.
A TCM software update improves shift logic and reduces gear hunting. Allowing the transmission to complete its adaptive learning period (500-1,000 miles) also helps. Dealers can perform a TCM reset and reflash.
Est. Cost: $0 - $200Seat Belt Bracket Mounting Bolt Issue
The seat belt bracket mounting bolts on the left-rear seat may have been incorrectly tightened during assembly, preventing the seat belt from providing proper restraint in a crash. This affects Crew Cab models.
Nissan issued a recall to inspect and properly torque the left-rear seat belt bracket mounting bolts to specification. Dealers will perform the inspection and retorquing free of charge.
Est. Cost: $0 (recall)Engine Misfire and Coil Pack Failure
Some owners report cylinder misfires within the first few thousand miles, accompanied by rough idle and a check engine light. The issue is often traced to faulty ignition coil packs or spark plugs on the 3.8L V6 engine.
Replacement of the failed ignition coil pack and spark plug. Dealers have covered this under the factory powertrain warranty. An intake manifold replacement per TSB may also be performed if related codes are present.
Est. Cost: $0 (warranty) / $200 - $600 if out of warranty
