NHTSA recall 21V917000
Fuel System, Gasoline, Trailer Hitches · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2022 Frontier crew cab long bed trucks. The tow hitch was not installed, compromising the structural integrity of the fuel tank in the event of a rear crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 301, "fuel system integrity."
Why it matters: During a crash, the leaf spring could contact the fuel tank, causing a fuel leak and increasing the risk of a fire or injury.
The fix: Dealers will install the tow hitch and harness kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 16, 2021.
