What's wrong?
The alternator harness on the 2017-2019 Nissan Titan is the bundle of wires that connects the alternator to the rest of the truck's electrical system. The alternator generates the power that charges the battery and runs the lights, radio, gauges, and ignition while the engine is running. The harness has to stay clear of metal edges and brackets so the insulation around each wire stays intact.
On affected Titans, the harness was damaged during engine installation at the factory. As the truck is driven, the damaged section rubs against a metal frame bracket and wears through the insulation. Once the bare wire touches the bracket, it creates an electrical short that can disrupt power flow through the alternator circuit.
The warning sign is abnormal electrical behavior. Owners often see interior lights flickering, the radio cutting in and out, or other intermittent electrical glitches before the short fully develops.
Who's affected?
Covers three model years of the Titan pickup (2017, 2018, 2019), all flagged across two related electrical components: wiring and the alternator circuit.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup is included in this recall.
What's the safety risk?
An electrical short in the alternator harness can stall the engine and raise the risk of a crash, and it also raises the risk of a fire. Watch for warning signs like flickering interior lights or an intermittent radio, and treat that abnormal electrical activity as a reason to schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2019 Nissan Titan is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the alternator-harness inspection that fixes the wiring damage behind the engine-stall and fire risk.
- Ask the dealer to reclip the harness into the correct position or replace it if damaged, all free of charge.
- Call Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 with questions and reference recall number 19V495 when you call.
- Watch for signs of an electrical short before the repair, such as a stalling engine or a burning-electrical smell, and have the truck towed in if it stalls.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the alternator harness to confirm it is routed correctly and checks it for damage. The technician clips the harness back into the correct position, or replaces it if damage is found. Parts and labor are free under the recall. If you previously paid out of pocket for a related alternator harness repair, Nissan's reimbursement program covers documented expenses for vehicles that are no longer under warranty. Bring your receipts and repair paperwork to the service desk when you arrive.
