Nissan Titan unsecured airbag control units
Nissan North America is recalling certain 2021 and 2024 Titan vehicles. The airbag control unit may be missing a spacer, which can allow the fastener to loosen and result in an unsecured ACU. An unsecured ACU can prevent or delay airbags from deploying as intended, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
This recall potentially affects seven vehicles. Dealers will replace the ACU. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 19. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PD120.
Nissan Frontier missing headlight aim markings
Nissan North America is recalling certain 2024 Nissan Frontier vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Improperly aimed headlights can result in insufficient illumination of the road, decreasing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
This recall potentially affects 1,119 vehicles. Dealers will inspect and replace the right-side headlight as necessary. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 20. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PD121.
