Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada lists: Frontier 2023

What is wrong

On certain trucks, the bead area of the tires may have been damaged when they were mounted onto the rims. Over time, this damage could create an air leak that can lead to a tire failure. Note: This problem may also affect the spare tire on certain trucks.

Why it matters

A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and replace the affected tires.

What is wrong

Why it matters

A parked vehicle that moves unexpectedly could create the risk of an injury or a crash.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development. To reduce the safety risk, Nissan recommends that you should always use the parking brake when you park.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
