Nissan has recalled 13,719 Frontier pickups from model year 2025 because their daytime running lights may dim and brighten while in use.
Nissan tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that a software error may dim the daytime running lights every time the stop-start system shuts off and restarts the engine. Fuel-saving start-stop systems shut an engine down to prevent a car from wasting fuel idling. Drivers can turn them off.
Nissan says the dimming pattern can confuse other drivers, who may think the Frontier’s driver is flashing their lights to signal something. That misinterpretation could contribute to a crash.
Dealers will update the truck’s software to fix the problem.
By law, dealers don’t charge for recall repairs.
Automakers recall many cars every year, sometimes more than once. They try to reach every owner to warn them. However, some fall through the system’s cracks and unknowingly drive recalled cars. Check our easy recall tool to determine if your vehicle has any outstanding recalls.
