Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,500 model-year 2016 Nissan Frontier pickup trucks equipped with a V-6 engine and manufactured between Feb. 29 and March 7, 2016
The Problem: The starter motor wire harness may have been installed in an incorrect position, allowing the starter harness terminal to contact the heat shield and result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect and reposition the starter wire harness as necessary for free.
