Like many automobile manufacturers, Nissan too encountered some problems with a few of its models and had to recall around 13,535 of them in order to prevent unfortunate accidents.
We’re talking about some Nissan Frontier pickup trucks that appear to have issues with the circuit breaker as it could have been installed incorrectly. Because of this, a wire harness can contact a metal bolt on the A-pillar leading to a short circuit, thus causing a fire.

Therefore, this isn’t something that lacks importance and as a result the company decided to have all the models that present this problem recalled.

It appears that we’re talking about the Frontier model from 2012 through 2014, therefore drivers that own an affected truck will be contacted by Nissan in order to get it fixed.

In case you were wondering whether the company will fix the issue free of charge, the answer is “yes,” so you shouldn’t worry about any additional costs. Moreover, the recall is expected to start sometime in early March.

In Nissan Frontier related news, the midsize truck is scheduled to gain a Cummins diesel engine a couple of years from now, when the next-generation vehicle will be launched. The diesel Frontier was previewed by a concept truck at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this month.
