Apr 16, 2018 · EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Nissan Titan, 2016 and 2018 Nissan Titan XD vehicles. Accessories installed on these vehicles reduced the load carrying capacity, however, a Load Carrying Capacity modification label was not installed, possibly allowing the vehicle to be overloaded.

Apr 24, 2017 · SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Nissan Titan Crew Cab and Titan XD Crew Cab vehicles. In the event of a crash, the rear seatbelt assembly may not adequately protect the occupant's head, allowing it to contact the D-ring bolt trim cap.

Consequence: If the occupant's head contacts the D-ring bolt trim cap during a crash, there is an increased risk of injury.
