Overview

2024 Nissan Titan

The 2024 Nissan Titan presents itself as a capable full-size truck, powered by a standard 5.6-liter V8 engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and part-time four-wheel drive. While it boasts a strong engine and a comfortable ride, its appeal to used-car shoppers is tempered by a significant number of critical safety recalls, concentrated in the air bag system. Despite zero logged consumer complaints, these recalls indicate potential manufacturing quality concerns that demand buyer attention. Fuel economy is modest, with a combined EPA rating of 16 MPG.

Critical Failure Risk

Multiple recalls address potential issues with the driver's side airbag inflator module and the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU). These can lead to improper deployment or complete failure of the restraint system.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$2,000 repair.
