What's wrong?
The right hand LED head lamp on the 2019 Nissan Titan contains aiming marks on the lens. Those marks help a technician set the headlight beam at the correct height and direction, so the light points where it should and the truck meets the lighting rule for headlamps.
On affected Titans, the supplier used the wrong software program to etch the lens markings. The markings for a halogen head lamp were placed on an LED head lamp lens. The lamp itself is an LED unit, but the incorrect marks mean the headlight does not carry the required aiming information for that part.
An owner is not expected to feel or hear anything from this problem. There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is found by inspecting the head lamp lens markings, not by a dashboard alert or a change in how the truck drives.

What's the safety risk?
Incorrect headlight aim marks can lead to improper headlight adjustment during service. That can leave the road underlit at night and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the aim issue affects visibility, so schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Nissan Titan is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free headlight inspection and, if needed, headlight-assembly replacement that corrects the aiming-mark issue.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan sent one. If not, reference recall number 20V556 when you call.
- Limit night driving until the dealer completes the inspection or repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the LED headlight assemblies and replaces any assembly that needs replacement under recall 20V556. The inspection, replacement parts, and labor are free under the recall. Out of pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected 2019 Titan vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
