As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence: If the vehicle stalls, it can increase the risk of a crash.
NHTSA lists 13 recall campaigns affecting 2016–2024 Nissan Frontier vehicles. A recall applies to specific VIN ranges, so a particular car may be affected by all, some, or none of them — and an open recall does not mean the car is unsafe, only that a free remedy is available from a franchised dealer.
Beyond the standard pre-purchase checks, the recall history for this model concentrates in: back over prevention, electrical system, power train, seat belts, trailer hitches, tires. An inspector confirms current condition and whether recall remedies were performed.
