What's wrong?
The load carrying capacity modification label tells an owner how much weight the truck can carry after accessories are added. It belongs near the truck's weight and tire information because added accessories change the payload the truck is built to handle safely. On these Nissan Titan trucks, the label is the part that gives the corrected limit.
On affected 2016-2018 Nissan Titan trucks, accessories reduced the available payload, but the label showing that lower capacity was not installed. The truck itself has the added equipment, so the original payload information no longer gives the full picture. Without the corrected label, an owner can load cargo, passengers, or equipment as if the higher capacity still applied, and the truck can be overloaded.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is missing information, not a part that makes noise or changes how the truck feels before it is loaded.
Who's affected?
Spans three Titan model years, all tied to the vehicle label used for placard or certification information.
| 2016 Nissan Titan | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2017 Nissan Titan | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| 2018 Nissan Titan | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 483 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the load label is wrong, the truck can be loaded past its safe capacity. Extra weight increases crash risk, so confirm the corrected label before carrying heavy cargo or towing. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016-2018 Nissan Titan is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Nissan dealer to get the free load carrying capacity modification label and installation instructions.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 18V240 when you call.
- Avoid loading the truck to the old posted capacity until the corrected Nissan label is installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician verifies the vehicle's load carrying capacity label and installs the new modification label using Nissan's instructions. The label and installation instructions are free under the recall. Because Nissan says the subject vehicles are under warranty, out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through existing warranty coverage, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
