***** Campaign Summary *****
Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign on 27,085 certain MY2016-17 Titan
Diesel vehicles identified in Service Comm to inspect and, if necessary, reprogram the Electronic
Control Unit (ECU) with countermeasure software.
Nissan has determined that the subject vehicles were manufactured with an On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) calibration that may not allow the exhaust gas sensor monitors to run as intended. If an
affected vehicle is not repaired, the exhaust gas sensor monitors may not run as frequently as
required by regulation to determine if the sensor is performing as intended. This issue has no effect
on vehicle safety, fuel economy, drivability, or performance.
***** What Dealers Should Do****
1. Verify campaign applicability using Service Comm or DBS National Service History – Open
Campaign I.D. PC731.
2. Dealers should use NTB20-030 to correct any vehicles subject to this campaign.
3. Once repaired, dealers should submit the claim, using the claims coding provided, and
release the vehicle.
***** Release Schedule *****

The software for this reprogram is available on ASIST. No other parts are
