What's wrong?
The engine wiring harness on the 2020 Nissan Titan is the bundle of insulated wires that carries power and signals between engine controls, sensors, and nearby underhood systems. Nissan lists this part as the EGI harness. It is supposed to keep each wire covered and separated so current stays inside its intended circuit.
On affected Titan pickups, the supplier assembled the EGI harness incorrectly. That error left an exposed wire inside the harness. If that bare section contacts the copper wire from the shielded transmission power wire, current can jump into the wrong path. The result is an electrical short or arcing in the engine wiring.
There is no warning sign before failure. The truck can appear normal until the exposed wire makes contact and the electrical fault begins.
Who's affected?
The engine and underhood wiring components both trace to the EGI harness listed by Nissan.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
An electrical short can affect the engine, transmission, or fuel pump and increase the risk of an engine stall and a crash. Arcing also increases the risk of a fire. There is no warning sign before the short, so schedule the inspection and repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020 Nissan Titan is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free engine-harness inspection and repair for the exposed-wire short risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan mailed one. If not, reference recall number 20V759 when you call.
- Drive only as needed until the dealer checks the harness, since a short can cause an engine stall or fire.
- Call Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 with questions about scheduling or dealer instructions.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the engine wiring harness for exposed wiring that can short or arc against another wire. If the harness is affected, the technician replaces it. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, and the repair is available through Nissan dealers. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because these trucks were under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
