2012 NISSAN FRONTIER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2012 Nissan Frontier has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk from a misinstalled circuit breaker whose wiring can rub against a metal bolt on the A-pillar, wear through the insulation, and cause an electrical short. On the steering and suspension side, the front wheel hubs on two-wheel drive models may crack and eventually break, allowing a wheel to separate from the vehicle entirely. Before that point, the driver may notice vibration and difficulty steering as the wheel wobbles. A separate electrical recall also involves an incorrectly installed circuit breaker that can disable the power seat and sunroof, drain the battery, or cause a short circuit that overheats wiring and risks property damage or injury.
